Who is this man

Who is this man
his overbearing presence is enough
enough to make you stop
stop and think
who is this man
is life after his secrets going to be this rough
theres no way his anger can me tamed
theres no way in hell
no way his condition will ever be named
all i know is that this man is mysterious and hidden
around him "i cant" changes into "i can"
"i cant" live with him, "i cant" marry an abuser
"i can" be different than my birth mother an step mom
he once took my mother by the neck...
back handed her, and threw her against the patio deck
my step mom complains of this too
the sad things is when i though "who's next"
my thoughts answered, and said "its you"
what do i do, I'm not them, i wont put up with it
allowing this bulky 6'6I'm man to treat me like sh*t
now... this dark brown and blamed man
who makes "i cant" turn into "i can"
puts my life in danger once again
first my mother, then another
and now my younger sister and brother
why not forget about him
vanish him you say? ignore him completely?!
this furious man who acts as though he doesn't care
he wont stop, he wont take the time, he wont bother
I'm forced to care because that mysterious man...
will ALWAYS be my father
