He comes in late,

I cower and hide,

Is it all in my mind?
Is he really there?

Or is it just a scare?
He lurches towards me,

No, not a dream,

"Hey Destiny,"

I shrink back further,

"Stupid Destiny," He jeers,

He hasn't hit me yet, but still,

I feel scared.

"Can't you do anything right? Get out!" He screams.

I run for cover, up to the safety of my room.

To me, its normal.

Its not abuse,

its my father.
