Super Dad

John Lee

Super Dad, you are the best..
No matter what come up, you'd pass the test..
A wife and three beautiful daughters, you are the Dad they know they can call..
Anything coming in between you and your family? No not at all....
So tell me, what happened? What did it take for you to make that mistake?..
You blew it! I hope it hurt when Super Dad landed from that fall..

Man, you had it all!
They loved you..
They admired you..
They ran to you..
They counted on you..
They trusted you.
Now they'll never know you!
Look at you, driving up to a empty home..
Knowing now you'll always be alone..
Look at that grill, where you use to prepare a Super Dad meal..
Remember when they gave you that shirt that reads Super Dad? The way it made you feel..
The movie nights, all the horror frights..
The way you'd get beat by the button mashing Xbox fights..
Man those were the days!
Kids didn't want to leave home, not the weekend or weekdays..
Being at home wasn't that bad, not when you had a Super Dad..
So tell me, what happened? What did it take for you to make that mistake?..
Yeah, i know it hurts..
It's gotcha looking the other way when another girl flirts..
You used to laugh and joke around, hardly ever caught you with such a frown..
But now look at you, always looking down..
Hiding the truth like it can't be found..
Carrying shame as if you're hell bound..
Man damn!!
Look at yourself! Can't even face yourself..
Always changing your look because you hate yourself!.
Yeah I can imagine why you feel so blue..
The root of your hate is you!
Like a fool you take the bait..
You hypocrite..
You liar..
You fake..
Saying it's evil you hate..
But you're like a clown putting on paint, when you are what you say you ain't..

I'm just wondering what you're supposed to be, so now it's time to be honest with me..
So who are you?
No, you can't be me, that's mad..
Because it's me that's Super Dad.

    So you are another Flawed Human Being?!
    Self Knowledge could bring you Peace...
    I am proud of your confession,so should your girls.
    Let them know; Let them read....
