To My Dad...

I really don't know what to say anymore
Life isn't what it was life before

Days with you are more frustrating than the last
And I'm here shaking, trying to stay away from our past

Dad, what the hell do i have to say
To make your anger and pain go some other way?

You use to be the only parent who was there!
You were a friend, you actually showed that you did care!

But now it's just another stressful fight
Because nothing I do is ever right...

I'm writing this and trying so hard not to cry
I tried to get through you but you just let everything pass by!

Is it at the point, dad, that it will get physical?
I hope your not like mother, she's way too typical...

Do you think i forgot how you treated my sister when yous fought?
Did you really think that i forgot?

I can remember the black and blues on her arm
But then again, you said you "meant no harm"

You're in my face yelling at me dad, what are you going to do?
Are you going to breakdown and let the past come back into you?

I didn't do anything... i didn't do one damn thing to you!
So please tell me that all this fighting isn't true!

You grew up without a parent, you know what it is like!
I'm not giving up on you though, even if this is past the third strike...

I can't stop talking to you dad
Living without mother was way too bad

How am i supposed to keep going with you yelling all of the time?
Threatening to take your life, and this morning you threatened mine...

You can yell, hit or beat me to death
You can kill me and take my last breath

You're the last thing of a parent that i have
I'm not running or turning the other way dad

Just please stop threatening me and getting in my face
Just take a breath and relax, i don't want to leave this place
