Walking on Eggshells

(Opening spoken-word remarks by Brother D)*

You told you loved me
and called me your own son
Nothing I ever did
Was good enough for you

I tried to change
I tried to change it all
All you did was cry
And take my picture off the wall

But now I have my rest
You'll never see my best
I pray that you will see
The pain you put on me

I walked on your eggshells
Every single day
All it did was hurt me
And drove me insane

Your silence, it killed me
You wonder why I ran
I'm glad that it happened
Cause I'm a better man

You never said you're sorry
But I made it last this long
Thought the next day would be better
But I was so wrong

I thought I was a problem
Cause you told me all the time
Now you take away your daughter
You finally crossed the line

But now I have my rest
You'll never see my best
I pray that you will see
All the pain you put on me
And now I'm free
