he was a young kid tormented and hurt
his father nearly pushed him to the end of the earth
on his birthday december the 3rd
that day his dad was drunk
couldn't even remember the birth
and he wished he'd go on holidays and never return
his whole body was cut up and served and burnt
use to wake up shaking with an image of dads face
and how he use to use his body as an ash tray
the kid was forced to smile put on a happy face
he use to try and keep his chin high
if he let an ounce of sadness out he'd see a fist fly
teachers asked about the bruising and he'd give lies
a kids mind with no reasoning to live life
a thin line between hate and depression if it wasn't with his fist he'd hit his face with a weapon
the thought of suicide he'd jump a lake in a second
without him his mum wouldn't be safe and protected
he often thought of standing up and fighting back
was to scared he knew he'd cop another strike and bash
except for one day he came home from school
he was about to leave for a mates home for pool
he heard screams from upstairs in the bed rooms
mum was yelling but it sounded like sex too
cold blooded and fearless nobody was near it and nobody could hear it
and why did they deserve this punishment for
then he snapped he couldn't give a fuck anymore
then he ran to the room possessed by a demon
saw her throat seething and her nose bleeding for no reason
she hobbled down stairs broken her leg
poured his gin all over his wife an emotional wreck
and the kid stood in the doorway eyes darkened and black
laughing as he starts to attack
he ducked the first swing
out of nowhere the dad grabbed the kid at the neck
squeezing his life away stared in to his eyes it rained
he didn't show it hurt he managed to hide the pain
he sat squeezing and screaming and crying but the kid let him do it and squeeze it in silence
if he kept going it he would dead him for sure
then his grip let loose he flop next to the floor
and the mum stabbed him in the back with a kitchen knife ripped inside screaming in pain ready to give her life
he saw his mother on the tiles of tears
it was the first time he saw his mother smile in years
