Dad im sorry
I just cant explain why
I told my dad
With tears in my eyes
One whip
Two whips
Three whips
Four
I couldnt stand the pain
I dropped to the floor
"Your not gay alright! Do you understand?"
Why couldnt he just face the fact that I loved another man?
"Get up right now!"
He said as he whipped me again
All I could do was yell out a broken "I cant!"
One whip
Two whips
Three whips
Four
"Mother fucker if you dont get up Ill whip you some more!!"
Why are you doing this? Ive never hurt anyone
"It dosent matter. Your gay! And the worst part is your my son!"
With those words tears flowed down my bruised cheeks
One section at a time my body soon became weak.
Why did I tell my dad I was gay?
I should have known he was going to act this way
He should have never took it to this extent
If only he knew the pain I underwent
Not only was there pain on my open skin
But there was an emotional pain deep within
I looked down at my body
It was coverd entierly of red
My brain felt as if it would explode
Right inside my head
One whip
Two whips
Three whips
Four
I lie still on this basement floor
What was happening to me?
I couldnt feel the pain anymore
Five whips
Six whips
Seven whips
Eight
I look up at him
His eyes were filled with pure hate
Please stop! I try to yell
My body on fire, as if I was in Hell
Specks of white started to flash
But he just kept going lash after lash
Twenty whips
Thirty whips
Fourty whips
Fifty
Here I lay dead on the ground
May God be with me.
