A tempest rages, deep inside
A cauldron of emotions, hard to hide
A desire to lash out, to make him pay
For the pain and suffering, he's brought my way

His irresponsibility, a weight I bear
A burden of anger, a soul laid bare
The wounds of childhood, still fresh and raw
A longing to confront, to make him see the flaw

But the hands that tremble, with a desperate cry
Are stayed by a glimmer, of a love gone by
A memory of laughter, of joy and of light
A father's love, that once shone so bright

The conflict rages, like a stormy sea
A desire for justice, warring with humanity
To forgive or to fury, that is the test
To find peace within, and let go of the unrest

For in the end, it's not his demise I seek
But an end to the pain, the heartache unique
A chance to heal, to mend and to move on
To find solace in love, and not in anger's strong
