Monster

Our home was once full of Laughter
Is now a house full of anger
Feels like were always in danger
Everyday he makes us all suffer 

It was his job to be a provider
Instead thinks himself as a master
Treating us like were his follower
It makes us sadder

He slams our door so louder
It makes us all shudder
We just all cuddle together, 
Still gives us all a nightmare.

Our supposed to be protector
To us he acts like a predator 
Instead of being a good father
He becomes our own monster
