Your Children's Pain (Confession to our Father)

by

Eddie Tacub

(Son)
I can't believe the things that happened to me
If only someone could see what I had to see
I was being controlled by this beast called my father
Which in most ways he was never one
Instead of helping or loving me, he did the other

All this drama came from my so called dad
At times I wished for a father someone else had
Maybe he was one from the start
But it only took him a little time
Till he hurt me and lost his heart
Why did he have to tear this father & son relationship apart?

I wish for one day that he could change
I can't be around him if he's going to be the same
I wish for one day you would do what's best
Or else this shit will be passed on down
One generation to the next...

(Daughter)
Its hard for me and sad for you
You'll never understand what I went through
Years have passed but it hurts the same
Just one question.....why all the pain?

They say to accept you like you are
Some say you'll never change
But you see--because of you,
My life, I've rearanged

The way I grew up reflects
the person I am today
I vow I will never be like you
and show love in such a way

At least some good came out of this
I'm away from the beast and set free
I just want to thank you so much dad
for teaching me what I should never be
