i write often yet never post so really have no clue if what i write anyone even likes, criticism is encouraged as no one is perfect im just doing what i love.
you dont need him, he has nothing to offer
those were my mothers words referring to my father
i always wanted to meet him, yet she would never let me
always saying that he was some sort of threat
see my father and mother split when i was born
his face remains on the pictures that are torn
its hard for me to look at his face again
when hes the reason that i almost faced the end
it was 9 years ago to the day when i felt the burn
they say lifes a tough lesson but this in one no one should learn
i was at a corner shop, just glancing at the product
when out of the corner of my eye on the news a warning popped up
potential threats of suicide bombings were like clouds in the sky
so i thought nothing of it as i went on to buy
a small orniment, to give to my father when we meet
but before leaving the store i stop to take a seat
unwrap the plastic and hold it in my hands
when in comes a man wrapped in explosives as he stands
about 6 feet and before i could scream
the reality of it all kicked in its not a dream
the blast filled the room with a blazing inferno
i knew i wasnt dead but very badly burned so
i turn my head to look at the face of terror
and its like i was in the future looking in a mirror
i have my father to congratulate for bringing me here
but also to blame for bringing me fear
and although hes gone and passed
the 3rd degree burns and scars are here to last
so now i know why my mother always said dont bother
and in the future i will never take after my father
