Scared
So you think YOU are scared
You just cant cope, being broke, no hope
So you buckle, jump to her word
Ditch what you’ve heard
All those thoughts that you had
When you were feeling so sad
Just forgotten, down trodden
You’re under the thumb man
Stand up and give a damn
I can tell you about being scared
Wanting to shout out loud but not even dared
Being fifteen and left all alone
Staying a week, then going back ‘home’
Doing my GCSE’s and my brain is racked
My family life has stumbled and cracked
Mum gets arrested for wielding a knife
Dad cannot hide from his trouble and strife
Ben lets it all out by punching a wall
What kind of life is this? Can’t they see it, the fools
Friends in higher education
But my family stole my concentration
Mum and dad are the people you can always trust
But broken promises turn to dust
We all make mistakes and from those we must learn
But again and again, there is no last turn
So much anger has built up inside
That, that happy go lucky girl long ago just died
So next time you’re scared with no strength left to climb
Don’t give up dad, things can only get better with time
SITTING AT HOME TODAY WAITING ON THE PHONE.
HOPING A JOB WILL CALL SO IM NOT JUST EATING A BONE.
LOOK AT THE PAPER EVERY STINKIN DAY.
CRYINGMY EYES OUT HOPING MY FAMILY WILL STAY.
EVERYDAY I WAKE UP I OPEN MY EYES IN FEAR.
AFRAID TO ANSWER THE DOOR FOR I MIGHT SHED ANOTHER TEAR.
I DONT KNOW WHEN OR HOW MY MONEY WILL COME IN.
CANT HELP BUT THINK OF EVERY WAY TO GET BACK ON TOP AGAIN.
SO AFRAID TO GO OUTSIDE OR GO TO FAR.
MIGHT NOT HAVE THE GAS OR EVEN LOSE THE CAR.
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY BECAUSE I LIVE TODAY.
I LOVE MY FAMILY CAUSE I KNOW BY MY SIDE THEY WILL ALWAYS STAY
RIGHT NOW I DONT NO HOW TO FEEL I CAN ADMIT I AM UPSET MAD HURT BUT I UNDERSTAND
THE PAIN IS GONE YOU LEFT SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL BUT I THINK I,M WEARING THEM WELL I
NO I CAN NEVER BE THE MAN YOU WAS BUT IF I CAN GET HALF WAY THERE IT WILL BE A BIG
ACCOMPLISHMENT DAD I ADMIRE YOU SO MUCH THE THINGS I SEEN YOU GO THREW THE
AVERAGE MAN COULD,NT ENDURE I WATCHED YOU BOUNCE BACK FROM SO MUCH I WATCHED
YOU FIGHT THE BIGGEST FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE THE BATTLE WITH CANCER IN MOST PEOPLE
CASE WE PROBALY WOULD OF GAVE UP GOT DOWN ON OUR SELVES BUT YOU DID,NT YOU
FOUGHT IT TO THE END YOU SHOWED ME THE MEANING OF COURAGE I WATCHED YOU BUILD
A LOT OF THINGS BUT THE BEST OF ALL IS OUR FAMILY A STRONG FAMILY STARTS WITH THE
PARENTS AND I THINK YOU AND MOM DID A WONDERFUL JOB CONSIDERING WHAT YOU GUYS
HAD TO WORK WITH 11 KIDS I NO WE WAS,NT THE BEST KIDS A PARENT COULD ASK FOR BUT

WHAT A MAN SHOULD BE AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY
HEART I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND SPEAK OF YOU TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LESTEN
THANKS POP
he left her home no choice about it, walking out of her sight without a word, not given a
chance to say goodbye, every night she lay there and cry. she made a wish as the stars
shone bright, to relive the past, he'd make things right. she blamed her sisters, she
blamed her mom, he blamed himself, for all he did wrong. the years flew by and now she's
grown, with a family all her own, a family he will never know. tho there's still that
anger deep inside, she cant help but to care a little still, for there was once a time
when she was daddies little girl.
