Drinker of mass produced little bottles of slow death
Deranged – psychopathic – beast – great big angry god
Unpredictable as the storms of your moods
Nurturing – hurt giving – abusive with words
I just wanted to please you - make you proud of me
No one showed me how to be a human being
Learned by example
Never show emotions unless the walls are torn down by
Frustration and drink - stuff my feelings down deep
Father, you taught me well
I’ve passed down so much more pain than you
I’ve carried on the family tradition
Are you proud of me?
