Who Is This Man

He has a trigger 
but doesn't own 
a gun.

He likes to play 
but never allows 
Himself to have any fun.

Drinks too much alcohol 
trying to dull his pain.
He is as brash as he is 
Harsh  
won't hesitate to tare you
Apart just because he can 
but who is this man....

As he grows weaker
his life regrets cut in a little 
deeper.
Abuses alcohol to dull his pain
To proud to say I'm sorry he
take that pride to his grave.
I love that man regardless of all
His done, he taught me right from wrong
Who is this man he is my dad
