Bedtime stories
Of serial killers
And child stealers
Of the dogs let loose in DC
How I am the prey
Today
Everyday
I live to just be me

Preach to me again Daddy
Bible stories
Of heaven and hell
How the angels fell
From God to claim anarchy
How I will sin
Again and
Again
And be saved if I only believe

Scream to me again Daddy
Crazy stories
Your paranoid lies
Of ill sent spies
Of disease let loose on me
How I was born to
Die too
Nothing new
And nothing is ever just free

I think I would choke too if I wasn't allowed to dream... and to believe in fairytales... and even now take time to be a child... I hope that you've learned that you can be "just free" in life. Great write, even though it is sooo sad that as a child you had to go through this.

Jason, very theraputic to tell this story,.... so sorry that these things do happen to innocent little children. Now that you are not a child, be aware that this was insane behavior, evil.
Whatever happened to your father to make him this way. I'll bet he never had a happy moment in his life and that he was getting even with the world for meanness done to him. Its no excuse for him to be that way and you don't need to be near him anymore.
