You only want me around when you want something done.
You think your battles have been won, but they've only just begun.
Why do you pretend to love unconditionally? Is it to fool me?
Or are you afraid of what outsiders might see?
Do you remember another time and place? A life full of disgrace.
With that man's fists always in your child's face?
Or do you choose to forget, so not to face regret?
Well let me introduce you to someone you should have met.
He was so young and carefree, a joyous lad was he.
Until you destryoyed his world so selfishly.
He slept in piss and tears, as the cycle continued for years.
He was seperated from love and cutoff from his peers.
With emptiness filling his heart thats where the hatred would start
and slowly tear him apart.
Just when he thought he could take it no longer,
that which did not kill him only made him stronger.
As time went by he learned how not to cry.
and he could finally hold his head high.
He did this on his own because you had left him alone.
And yet his heart would still not turn to stone.
Most would be so proud and shout his praise aloud
but you choose to remain the  darkest cloud.
With every curse your tounge shall disperse,
his memories will only get worse.
One day every foul word that you ever said
will come back and rear it's ugly head.
You will be in need of my help one day, begging me to stay.
Then I will follow your lead, turn and walk away.
But I will have learned from your mistakes and no matter what it takes
my children will never feel my aches!
