PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Back when I was just a kid

I look back on it and laugh

But the scars on my face

Don't testify to that



What was wrong with the man

Who beat a three year old kid

What if I grew up in life

To do as he did



Take out my anger on those

I should have loved

But I guess a drunken bastard

Don't know when it's enough



Hospitalize them so they can have

Psychiatric care

And make them grow up in life

To see that life's not fair



Then I could go to prison

So I'd be there with you

But these are just some things

That I'm never gonna do



You're the pain in my heart

You never loved me

I'm just a bastard child

I was born to be lonely



You don't give a flying fuck

So why should I care

I've always been your son

But then you were never there



How many times will you

Blame alcohol for your mistakes

Calling mother, feeling sorry

But I think you're kind of late



Can you remember when I talked

To you for the first time

Do you remember my voice

Or the sorrow in my sigh



So slobbering drunk

That you never even knew

That the son you'd never seen

Was trying to talk to you



I stole your face

And they say I have your laugh

We're the same personality

But I don't believe that



I'll never treat my son

The way you have treated yours

He won't get deserted

And left with hatred for his source



You're the pain in my heart

You never loved me

I'm just a bastard child

I was born to be lonely



You don't give a flying fuck

So why should I care

I've always been your son

But then you were never there



They tell me that you're dying

But I know you're just a fake

You need to stop the drugs and booze

And fix your mistakes



When will you ever see me

Or do you even care

About the son who's just like you

But you were never there



You could have saved me from myself

But that time has long since passed

I'm living in a world of dreams

Overshadowed by my past



I feel so unloved at times

And I blame you for how I feel

Did you ever stop to think

That your son was ever real



But I guess you'll never change

You're my father after all

We're just alike and that scares me

So I know I'm gonna fall



You're the pain in my heart

You never loved me

I'm just a bastard child

I was born to be lonely



You don't give a flying fuck

So why should I care

I've always been your son

But then you were never there
