"Damage"
(From "A Different Reason")
For so long
I lived my life in constant fear
Of you.
Afraid of being beat up
And chewed up
For something you thought I did wrong.
I never liked you
I was too afraid to
But I also loved you.
You may not have treated me well
But you are my father.
You help brought me to life
And for that I am grateful
But I will never forget
The pain you have caused me
The physical as well as the emotional
For because you I am forever damaged.
