I'm not saying "I had it tough" because many have had it worst.

There's some who felt being born upon this world was a curse.

I grew up as a only child but then two siblings popped in.

Right before my parents divorced and my dad left the hen.

Screaming, fighting, argueing I wasnt sure if it would ever end.

It was like my lullaby when I slept in my crib.

I knew that it was only a matter of when.

The time came and I had to choose left or right.

I wasnt sure of the outcome at the end of the night.

Afraid that my choice would change the rest of my life.

Screaming and crying on the living room floor.

Begging my dad not to walk out the door.

I wasnt sure if I would ever see him again.

At the end of the night there was no way to win..
