A wounded child's father

You thought that his love should suffice
To cover all, to protect, to uplift my being
But it smothered me, left me vulnerable
I was left unprotected and wounded
I was prey for the cat, a family of mice
You saw perfection, I didn't see it
He was perfectly violent, intolerable
You saw discipline, I was left doomed
Hold up your hero high to the heavens
Pray for his placement there, I am contented
Knowing, your prayers will not help
He knows his crime and if eternity exists
He'll do his time until eternity ends
