Father Of Mine


You weren't there to help me out.

You left my life without any doubts. 

You were never around to help me out,

You were always the one who would shout.

Violence was the answer for you,

Well, guess what?

I'm growing up to be just like you.

I always wanted you around but no matter how hard I tried you would just make me cry.

Father of mine you're not a man.

To this day I won't forgive you.

I have grown strong and I have been through a lot

but none of my strengths comes from you

because your someone who NEVER came through.
