Better Off A Poem to A Deadbeat Father

Better Off

A Poem to A Deadbeat Father

Better off without your neglect,

Better off no disrespect.

Better off you don’t know your son.

Better off to him, you’re no one.

Better off not knowing you,

Better off you are gone too.

Better off not caught in your lies,

Better off I’ve learned to despise.

Better off your son doesn’t know,

Better off if he continues to grow.

Better off not caught up in charm,

Better off you don’t alarm.

Better off it stays this way,

Better off you keep away.

Better off you don’t live near,

Better off you don’t severe.

Better off you’re with your truck,

Better off you have little luck.

Better off I don’t want you,

Better off there’s not much to do.

Better off in a different bed you lay,

Better off your son doesn’t want you one day.

Better off he remains unaware,

Better off you don’t care.

Better off you leave us be,

Better off that we remain free.

Better off that you don’t stay,

Better off that things are okay.

Better off you don’t come around,

Better off you don’t make a sound.

Better off he grows up without you,

Better off you have nothing to do.

Better off you’re not there,

Better off no pain to bare.

Better off that you are gone,

Better off our son and I are strong.

Better off he doesn’t know you,

Better off I too am done with you.

Better off it stays like this,

Better off you’re not ours, Chris.
