My Daddy My Daddy
One misplaced judgment call
A paranoid violent moment fall
Head spinning, intoxicated and being in the unknown
Feeling vulnerable and all alone
Aggression all around like millions of grains of sand
Situations apparent which I don’t understand
I hear shouts from above, a friend in trouble
I switch on quick and out of my bubble
I feel an adrenaline overdose occur
What will I find what will I endure
Feelings of my dark side becoming so real
This is not good but for once I feel
I don’t want to glorify
But it all seems to satisfy
I’m like a soldier ready for action
Awaiting the battle a violent transaction
I enter the room where the commotion takes place
I see my target I strike twice with haste
Enemy comes at me to attack
Strike three he falls now on his back
Just at that moment, the moment which haunts me
A little girl appears “my daddy my daddy”
I sense the blood drain from my face
A sinking feeling, a fall from grace
I turn I run
What have I done?
Have I disturbed a small child for life?
Was this really worth the trouble and strife
The innocence I’ve destroyed
This wasn’t me I feel so annoyed
No more violence I will deplore
I will not hurt the good and pure
