I hate you I can't stand you I hope I'm never like you You killed us You beat us You broke us It took years to repair All the damage that you caused You never can recall All the anger you Displayed While the tears ran down Our faces We had to learn to lie To hide from all the pain To keep you safe Because you were supposed To be our protector You were supposed to be a father An now matter how Much you hurt us We still loved you We still took up for you When the world turned It's back on you We tried our hardest But it was never good enough We always just a little less Than the perfection That you wanted So you drowned us in a bottle And all of your sorrow Then we finally good see All the greif an pain you Caused us We stood up to you An you hated us Threw us out An we swear we would never Be you I swore I'd never hurt Anyone like you always seemed too. Now that I am older I can forgive you But I'll never forget The pain I saw every time On my mother's face when You hit her An I'll never forget The effect you had on me Or the pain you afflicted on our family.
