Is It Any Wonder I Can't Think Straight?

Bad family, which leads to a messed up kid...
I go to school
Leave the house as quick as I can
I wait around at school
Maybe detention, to delay my return
I go back to the house
And run to my room
I know that he's coming
Back from his work
And gonna cause trouble
His days perk
He walks through the door
I can hear him shout
I cover my ears
Yet still can hear
He takes the mother
And hits her again
Nothing to do
But wait till he's bored
One day that hit
Will be slightly too hard
Then he'll be sorry
But so will I
So the mother runs
Flees from the monster
The child confused
Now she is grown
She misses the dad
She knows this is wrong
But she hits her mum
In a moment of anger
Is this what’s become?
Am I the monster?
