Mommy and Daddy

Daddy,
what did you teach your son
look at him daddy
what have you done?
He did just like you did
and hurt me too
why would anyone
want to be anything like you

Well I told mommy,
and all she said
don't make me lose my child
I'd soon rather be dead
but mommy doesn't see it
the way I do
she was rapped when she was younger
but she still doesn't have a clue

It's all I think about 
even when I smile and ACT happy
thing is, happy is just not me
I was never the bubbly blonde
sweet child
I was never calm and mild
I was always ready for a fight
every time you looked at me
I wanted to cry
but I didn't show it daddy
and now I am crazy too
I would kill my son
if he turned out like you
So I am mad in a loony way
the thoughts in my head
I really shouldn't say

so this poem is over
for the fact I am in tears
wrapped my arms around myself
and drowning myself
in my fears
