The Song of My Life

I forgot to do the dishes, food still on the plate.
His girlfriend is mad and my dad got home late. 
I'm in the corner crying all alone
Wishing to myself, get me out of this home.
I'm always getting beaten, never treated well.
I'm one of those kid's whose life's a living hell.
Bruises on my back, tears on my face
All because I didn't clean up this place.
I don't have a bed, carpet floor is all I got
Yelling all night, one blanket, and if im lucky a cozy cot.
We went from a trailer, to a one bedroom apartment to share.
Sky and I starved so much, it was just too much to bare.
Again, no dinner for sky and i tonight.
They are all eating, plainly in sight.
Raggedy clothes, sick to my stomach I must add.
I grew up thinking i must have been bad.
But that's not the case, Honest to god.
I'm just a misfit, the odd pea from the pod.
Why did you like her and the kids more than sky and I.
You believed Amy and her every bull crap lie.
Many people are on your side, but do they  know what is true.
Maybe you should come clean and tell them everything you did do.
Oma may hate me, because she can't believe her son did bad.
But I will tell you that you are and never will be my dad.
My future family they will be beautiful.
But guess what, they will never be at your funeral.
I would never lay a single hand on my kid. 
My kid would be my world heaven for bid.
My kid would come first, always before. 
I would always chose my kid over a stupid whor.
I was cute in the beginning, a mistake in the end.
Not allowed to socialize, not allowed to have a friend.
My Dad doesn't like me, he's mean and it's true
He yells mean things at me for anything I do.
He tells me he'll kill me, that I'm going to hell.
If anyone asks he'll tell them I just fell.
Mommy would never say much, nothing at all.
I have nobody to pick me up, even after I fall.
Being all depressed is what I do best
But trying to fake happiness is definitely a big test.
No child should live the life I had to go by
Every child should smile, and have no reason to cry.
Living in my world, is not what i call fun
But I know I'm not alone and Im not the only one.

I'm gonna fight it and I'm gonna prove you wrong! I'm going to show you that your weak and I'm strong. 
I'm strong!

My parents couldn't seem to get along!
Why did dad hurt mommy for so long!  
I remember when he threw that really sharp knife.
He almost killed sky, he almost took his life.
Goodbye dad, You showed me the man that my husband will never be. 
I don't trust anyone, after all that I had to see.
You told me I was mental, Well look who is talking now!
You still are in my nightmares, I don't know how.
I can't get away from you and all the hell you brought.
You chose herpes over your kids, hope you like what you got.
I can't believe I almost took my life because of you.
Your not even worth it, I wasn't really thinking it through.
Sky and I are better off without you anyway. 
Goodbye old man, I have nothing left for you to say.

I'm gonna fight it and I'm gonna prove you wrong! I'm going to show you that your weak and I'm strong. 
I'm strong!

They told sky and I to get along cause one day, he'd be all I got. 
And guess what? They are right, he is all i have, even though we fought. 
He is the man of the house no matter what Jer may say.
Jer isn't a man, he is a monster in every way.
He is Screaming all night, why im Up all night crying.
it might be my last night and I just feel like dying!
Hey John Jeremy! I'm talking to you! So listen up now!
Are you back on drugs? Are you back to your ways?
Your just getting even worse and violent these days.
How dare you touch me in ways you know are wrong.
And now mom understand why we couldn't get along.
You need to stop disrespecting my mom right now.
You expect us to kiss your feet and at your presence, bow.
Your so ungrateful and hate everything, so why don't you go.
I'm not scared of you anymore, so look at me and bow low.
I'm done with you crap and all the fear.
You are the reason for every single tear.
Your the reason Brayden almost died.
Your the reason I run to my room every night and hide. 
Bray and sky will be more than double the man you could ever be.
Bray is a great boy who will soon realize who you are and see.
But I'm done with your crap and I'm calling you out!
I'm showing everyone what your really all about.
How would your mommy look at you now!After all this reality hits! 
This will break her heart and tear her to bits.
What you did embarrassed me and made me scared through it all.
You used your size against me and kept making me fall.
I still haven't forgave you for what you did.
You almost killed my brother and almost killed your kid!
By blood, he may be your son.
But with you, I am done.
I took care of your kid while you were in jail for more than a year. 
I had to hold him when he was slowing dying with every tear.
I saved brays life, and he saved mine.
Life without him just wouldn't be fine.
I love that kid more than the world you know.
All you do is eat our food and take all our doe.
So Why don't you do us a favor and just leave for good like I said.
Or even better, take a bullet to your own freaking head!
