“Families”

5.12.05

I don’t understand why you had to be this way.

Things were fine until yesterday.

You’re so quick to betray.

Real families don’t treat each other this way.

You want me to share how I feel with you.

But when I talk, look what you do.

Look at the damage you’ve done.

I have a feeling this has only just begun.

This war isn’t pretend, it’s so very real.

You never cared about the way I feel.

When I’m around you I feel the worst.

I bottle up emotions inside until I can’t help but burst.

People tell me they can tell I hurt just by looking in my eyes.

So much for my wonderful disguise.

I guess I’ve worn it for too long.

I don’t know where things went so wrong.

All the words you say cut like a knife.

I only wish you wouldn’t try to control my life.

I’m tired of living in chains.

It’s time I take hold of the reigns.

I hate you so much for doing this to me.

If only, if only you could see.
