why are my tears always on the edge of falling
why is it so easy to make me feel like im nothing
is this the way my life is always going to be
am i really going to get older and still feel like im nothing
stop hurting me please i cant take it anymore
i want my heart to stop pounding so hard in my chest
stop making me feel like im not important
i can only ask so many times before you push me out of breath
seeing that look on your smug little face
makes my heart pound even more
i dont want you to kill me completely
ill crawl my own way to the door
have you lost your mind and gone crazy
do you not realize im the best daughter you can get
or do you even care how great i am
no, you lost me, its something you'll regret
having you in my life has changed me inside and out
im a new person, i can live with myself now
do you see the bruises you left on me daddy?
how could you ever do this, just how?
i gave so much to help raise my brother,
as i lost along the way
i had to give it all up though
if i hadn't, i would not be alive today.
