I am 16 years old
My whole life all you have done is dish abuse
Both emotional and physical
It started off as physical
But after you came back from being gone for 3 years
It turned to physical
I couldn't stand it anymore
So i left and moved into moms
Then you move to the town that i lived in to be closer
To my sister and i
Your daughter and i am your son
Your son
Not your punching bag
Not your chew toy
Not something you can beat then throw away
I cant believe you did what you did
The cops cant do a thing because i was being disrespectful
i tried staying with you in hopes that things could be better
But i guess i lied to myself
Its step up from you always lying to me
And at least i admit it
I wont ever want to be called your son again
It makes me sick to think about being your son
You dont deserve to be a father
Why you became confuses us all
I guess all i want to say is good bye forever
I want nothing to do with you
I dont care what the cops said
