I wish I had never seen the way mom use to beat on you
You use to tell me how it was okay because you were a man
And it was easy to take that type of pain
But at some point between the slaps, punches, and kicks
You happened to lose your shit
And you hit back
Now you locked behind bars and I just wish you would come back
I was always on your side
I just thought you should know
It’s crazy how a man is punished for giving back a blow
The world doesn’t see this as a problem because when things like this happen women are deemed as not strong
Any other discussion about equality saying that would be wrong
This seems like a fight you could never have won
I just miss you, dad,
