I Am Stronge

Sometimes I cry 
A people ask why 
I asked the same thing to you 
but you are never true
why do you drink
please think
why can't you see 
what this is this doing to me 
I was failing school when you were there
trying so hard with you not there 
but now that you are gone 
I feel so  strong
Like you were my anchor holding me there
sorry to  say with out you I feel free to go any were
I love you Dad but with you I an weak
like my boat has sprung a leak
They all say you will die 
and to try not to cry
I will not at leased I will try hard and think
you can  no  longer make me sink
for with out you I am strong
oh so strong
