Father

In pulsating heart beats
Of evil stricken nightmares
I hate you
In your eyes
I see where my misery stems
Grows each day
Sleepless nights
Tearless expressions
When I wake up
I am alone
Wishing to never
See your face again
Hear the voice
I know as Satan
I did not ask to be here
The ropes tighten around my wrists
Petty surface belongings
Convey the mirror I want to shatter
To sharp fragments
Splitting the flesh
Of those who smile
I cannot get away
The deep keys of the piano lurk
Like footsteps across my memories
And when I cry
It is because I remember
That I am trapped
In a life without freedom
In a world built of treachery
Your absent mind
Is the self-destruction
That marches us to wars
Leaving us staring at open caskets
Wondering who is next
Your image is how I die
Again and again
I would like you to feel my pain
Around your neck
See your children
Raised in the cold
Filled with disgust
Unknown respect
Misplaced fear
I hate you.
