It was all simple when I heard the bark of the dog
Now my life seems to be covered by a simple fog
I used to hate how you called black people nigger
And when you saw any animal how you pulled the trigger
But the stupid things like that shouldn't matter anymore
Especially since you're gone now and left me to lie on the floor
It seems like I just can't take it anymore
You left my tears of silence alone on the floor
What was it that you were trying to implore
Now I am left only to explore
The mystery left behind of why you disappeared
I can't believe it was worse than I had feared
I just took in everything like it never happened
I thought it was a joke so I started slappin'
My knee is left all bruised
But my soul was captured and then used
For a different plot in life
Then I slowly began to realize the strife
I had no way to cope
All I could have done was hope
But I realized that hope was taken away
When I had figured out that day
The secret that was left upon a screen
Was damaging to me beyond all means
All I was is a shadow just like before
A Shadow of you father and nothing more
All they could say is how much I was like you
But they didn't realize the damage they did
Soon then on my jar of sanity flew off the lid
Then I went through to bid
Everyone else goodbye
Even though none of them understood why
