The Waves

Like waves crashing in the sea,
I’ll no longer let this be.
I won’t let you hurt them more—
I made that promise, I swore.

You’ve done enough to break their trust,
Now they look at you with disgust.
You’ve drank through every single day,
I see how they see you when you sway.

Tell me how you live each day,
Drinking your life and soul away.
Always scared, hurt, sad, and mad—
How can you call yourself a dad?

My angels deserve so much more,
Than this sad life they can’t ignore.
Now I’m strong enough to fight—
To stand, protect, and make it right.
