Power to Resist
xxxxxxxxxx
I've seen your steps they think I'll retrace
But I would never bring them such pain that they'd be forced to reface
You and I are very different beings
And I've sworn to never conform to your preachings
I never understood how you did such horrible things
You had us scream till you heard the caged birds sing
I merely hide from what is around me
You became so close I was surprised you could still see
Although I am ashamed to say I owe you half my life
There were so many times I wanted to retaliate with that knife
You were our misery, you were our pain
You brought forth the feelings we wanted to contain
Even though you left in the end
I had gotten so sick of having to defend
You embraced the evils the bottles brough
The difference between you and I is that I fought
The liquor became all that mattered
You didn't care that it was our lives you shattered
I will never be like you, that's a promise
I could never stand to bring so much down upon us
It didn't take long before you finally started to say
"But you don't even matter, I'll be gone someday."
I'm thankful that you've finally left
And that I don't have to worry about having to protect
You were gone, and we were fine
But none of us could forget what you did to us
The memories would never go away with time
None of us could even begin to get rid of our disgust
It was because of you, dear Father
That I went off the end as far as I did
There were some days I didn't understand why I even bothered
You were gone, and we were starting to heal
We were beginning to remember what it was like to feel
Our world was stitching itself back up
Thread by thread, our days were starting to look up
But the memories of you were still so raw
All the fears were still so fresh
The times I should have enjoyed I had to find a flaw
Those horrible urges I couldn't repress
I blame it on youAll the things that I couldn't do
The times when there was nothing I could do
But turn to the drink and think of you
But I'll never turn out to be like you
And that's a promise I intend to keep
I won't have those dreams haunt me in my sleep
The thoughts that I have I hide from everyone else
I'm so afraid they'll get out and I'll be judged by someone else
I don't need them to look at me as I join the fight
Because I'll never allow them to see me in that light
And for one simple reason, Father
Do these self-satisfying rules exist
It's because I saw the person you became
And I'm determined that I'll have the power to resist
