All Because Daddy's Gone

Daddy’s gone and I’m so happy
But what kind of life is this?
It’s not normal to have a dad in jail
Or a dad I can never kiss

I’m happy he’s gone, he deserved it
For he constantly used to beat me
I hope he rots in his new home
I hope that he’s never set free

But the pain has never left me
It still lingers deep inside
It’s like a curse that never leaves
It walks with me by my side

Now there’s a new problem
That I must put up with everyday
Mom’s become an alcoholic
And she’s getting worse by the day

This happened all because daddy left
But he’s really not worth all this strife
I just wish I can make her understand
That we don’t need him in our life

I try to keep my mother strong
And help her through the day
Even if I stand by her side
The alcohol won’t go away

I try to keep the family strong
But it’s further falling apart
The pain is so unbearable
That it’s tearing at my heart

I know nothing will ever be the same
But we both must try move on
We both suffer everyday
All because daddy’s gone

*Yes, my dad is in jail for beating me*
