I walked into my room,
And the air smelled of doom,
I sat down with a book,
But couldn’t avoid a worried look.
In the living room I heard voices,
Followed by even louder noises,
Mum let out a loud scream,
That made me think this was a terrible dream.
I heard my bedroom door banged,
And I immediately knew this day was danged,
I crawled to the farthest corner,
Knowing that if I ever survived this day I’d need a blood donor.
Dad stormed in looking like a complete stranger,
His fury was like that of a vengeful ranger,
His eyes were redder than beetroot,
And his breath smelled of soot.
He pulled me by the collar,
Of my blouse that had a drawing of the solar,
And hissed with a voice so hoarse,
Though I still couldn’t figure out the cause.
From a distance I heard sirens,
Whose combination made me have migraines,
Without warning he dropped me to the floor,
And quickly rushed towards the door.
Unfortunately he was too late,
Since the police were already past the gate,
He gave mum one big blow,
And ran straight into the arms of the law.
It’s been two years now since he was arraigned,
And six months since I was deraigned,
In the battle against drug tolerance,
Because it was the main cause of violence.
I wish he’ll pay for all this even though he’s my dad,
Because the thought of everything still makes me sad,
I have to help make the world a better place,
And say no to the misuse of a gun and a mace.
