So-Called "dad"
she sits in the corner, not wanting to move
because her body is in shock from this horrible news
the news she just heard of her so-called "dad"
the life he showed them was not the only one he had
deacon by day, junkie by night
he constantly put ona front like he was living right
she always saw something in him, that others couldn't see
she knew her mom shouldn't be with him, it wasn't meant to be
but what was she to do, only being a hild
little did she know, the truth would come to the light afterwhile
slowly but surely, people began to see
that deacon vines wasn't all he cracked up to be
he had a problem, that was solved with a fix
it put him in a state of confusion, so his family he dismissed
coming home later and later, not caring if his children saw
he did it for years, it instilled fears, until finally he pulled the last straw
his wife had had enough, she couldn't take it anymore
now once ad for all, she is walkign out that door
she is tired of always worrying, tired of all the pain
of styain up late, wating for a mate who was just playing games
so now it's final, her parents are getting a divorce
she always knew that one day her mom would make the right choice
though it took a while to see, she has finally come to realize
that the man she fell in love with had her living a lie
so what is she to do, being put throgh all this turmoil?
it's so overwheling that at times all she can do is cry
she calls her best friend who is always there
hoping to get encouraging words that let her know God won't put more on you
than you can bear
so as she sits in the ocrner
she begins to ponder on days gone by
the days when she hada daddy who she tought would never lie
Some dad he turned out to be.
