Learning how to care
About yourself
When you were
Just taught
To not
Care about the
World around you
While your world
Does abuse you
You ask why
They tell you not to cry
Pain is a sign of weakness
They tell you
You deserve it
Yet you just don't
Understand it
I was 8 years old
Too young to get it
But old enough to remember it
It never goes away
All the pain
You grew up with day to day
I just wanted to fit in
But ended up fighting to live
I was 8 what did I do
Fuck I give in
But I will never care about you
