"You're not as wealthy as you think you are!"
So is that our fault that we got no food at this hour?
All the rants that came before your mouth
Slowly breaks my heart and now I'm in doubt.
I never wished for a house full of gold -
nor a wallet full of bills,
but truth be told
I never wished for our family to be ill.
The day you raised a hand on my mother
made me realize you're like others
"A man will always be a man", that's what they say
But later that night I kneel down and prayed.
If this family will shatter into parts,
I prayed it will give peace on our hearts
Such things if only I could manipulate,
Then it will never be too late.
I've seen how people were eaten up by pride
I never thought you would be see it that night
Everything now is in the low light
In my heart and in my mind, I always cried.
But no, you won't see it
Because I will not show vulnerability
Not to you, to mom or to my siblings
Not even with my friends who knows my capability
At this very moment, I am hoping
You would answer the reasons why I'm aching
You'd might say you didn't know what I'm feeling
But how could you know if you are already blinded?
You are still my superhero, you should know
All the lesson you gave to me I will never throw
It's never that easy to be you I believe
I love you still and it's such a relieve.
Please hear our woes, I pray
That you will do whatever you said
Forget the scars that we've mend
We'll patiently, completely and honestly loving you till the end, Dad.
