Sorry Daddy

Daddy said I was bad
Said i got what I earned
Claimed I drove him mad
Said I'd better have learned

Mum said that i cant tell
That he'll get into trouble
Said that daddy's unwell
Sent off on the double

Nurse said I cant go back
I have to live in a 'Home'
I'd die with one more smack
I've never felt so alone

Daddy died cuz of this
Suicide in a lorry
Home, I dont think I'll miss
But daddy I am so sorry

Oh if this is true, which I think it is.. I'm so sorry. You wrote it very well. It's sad and I can almost relate to it.

Oh no no no this is not true at all, my real dad died when I was three and my step dad didnt do this, I just read a book that inspired me
Thank you
