One Wish

SITTING alone waiting for him to appear
So I can prove his kids no longer have to fear
The man they call daddy who mistreats them all
Begging god himself to bring him to me so he can fall
How does the system fail to protect
allowing him to skate the lines of neglect
He tells them he only loves one not all 3
Then they come home to cry to me
I am the figure whom shows them safety
and I wait and wait for him to appear as he sleeps safely
I am the only one willing to stay awake
Why does everyone enjoy watching me break
I have fought over a year to show her the truth within
It took a year for anything to even begin
Every visitation ending in emotional scars
How can this man allude being behind bars
He tortures his own children I cant keep witnessing abuse
if I take matters in my own hands I am no use
to my own children who need their father 
How can I jeopardize their safety this is getting harder
I have reached a boiling point sanity now spilling
He continues to show his ugly head and how much he is willing
to do to 3 little kids who just want their dad
I am dying watching these kids feel sad
I want to fight and end this abuse at his stem
I just want happiness and safety for all of them
instead I am stuck eyes wide open all night long
I feel I am the reason they have to witness his wrong
if I were not here would they better off ? please answer
I do not want to be this families terminal cancer
He eats at their being with every selfish remark
I am the Man who they seek when they need a spark
I want to be the life that drives this family to glee
Just one wish that someone would fight as hard for me
