i never thought that i would feel
in such a way and so reveal
a crazy side that was my dad
an awkward side,wish i never had
a side my dad would not want too
a side he would not show to you
a side he see`s himself in me
a way he hoped i`d never be
i think i know what fears him most
the side he hides,he used to host
the side he see`s in me and now
he feels so guilty,help?but how?
watching as his son becomes
the same as him but not his mums
free was she when he was young
just seeing bad things he had done
no different though to kids was he
apart from seeing openly
he had a brain,a good strong mind
some good,some bad,thoughts he`d just find
some-times choosing what weren`t right
see one more night,dad wins the fight
so sorry dad for what i`ve done
dont hurt me please dad,im your son
and now at thirty i cant seem
to show my love to let it beam
to open up and let it glow
when ive found love and need to so.
