Daddy…
You stand accused
Of drunk and disorderly behaviour
You stand accused
Of beating the woman you loved
You stand accused
Of the murder of my unborn sister
You stand accused
Of saying all those nasty things to mummy
You stand accused
Of hurting me with all the bad words
You stand accused
Of giving your love to another woman
You stand accused
Of abandoning me when I was small
You stand accused
Of letting me drink when I was young
You stand accused
Of letting me grow up to be as I am
You stand accused
Of teaching me how to beat my women
You stand accused
Of teaching me how children should be beaten
You stand accused
Of letting me hate myself for I’ve become you
You stand accused
Of the murder of your unborn granddaughter
You stand accused
Of putting me in this dark cell
For all that you stand accused!
I love you and I hate you
May your soul rest in peace.
