They Look At Dad Poem by No Reason To Care

There's a reason why
they look at dad
He's always yelling
angry and mad

And when the bruises
finally appear
he will tell me he loves me
and that I'm always
safe here

he says it's my fault
he gets so mad
proving himself useless
as a dad

he colors my skin
black and blue
'yes they asked me daddy
but it was all about you'

I lied to them just like you said
because if I didn't
id probably be dead

the marks go away
on a dark and dreary day

I talked to a boy
he said there was another way
he said I could tell
that I've been living in hell
and that they would send him
strait to jail

so I tried to speak up
sudden and abrupt
they took him away
on a new bright day


to everyone with a hidden secret about some one
who is supposed to love you, but just leaves you
black and blue
