letter to you



LETTER TO YOU
FOR HOW LONG WILL BOTTLE IT UP
TILL WHEN WILL YOUR WORDS TROTTLE
MY INNER BEING
TILL WHEN WILL MY PAIN BE INVISIBLE
TO YOU
YOU CALL YOUR SELF A FATHER
BUT WHAT KIND OF FATHER DOES NOT REALISE
HIS CHILDS HEARTACHES
THE HEART SHATTERED INTO BROKEN PIECES
BY YOU
TODAY AM WRITING A LETTER TO YOU DAD
AM ANGRY
AM ANGRY THAT YOU’RE MY FATHER
AM PISSED OFF THAT YOU’RE MY MOTHERS
HUSBAND
IT HURTS HERE
DEAR DAD
WHY SHOUT
WHY DOUBT
WYH CHEAT
WHY PLEAD
WHY HURT YOUR WIFE AND KIDS
IS THAT WHAT FAMILY SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE
I WISH THE WORLD COULD SEE THE MONSTER YOU’RE
MY FEAR IS THAT ONE DAY I WILL WISH HELL ON YOU
DON’T THINK I WISH WELL FOR YOU
AM ONE EMOTIONLESS OUTCOME OF YOUR
BEHAVIOR  DAD
A BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS BOMBER MY SMALL HEAD
EVERYSECOND OF THE DAY

DO I WANT TO LIVE
DO I WANT TO KEEP UP WITH THIS FAMILY
DRAMMA
YOU KNOW WHAT….I DON’T
WANT ANSWERS BECAUSE I KNOW KARMA WILL
HIT YOU HARD
