Life,
Can you define it for me
Because I have no clue
Of what it means... See More
It means nothing to me

Because no one has thought to care
About me
About my life or
About my feelings
I am a human, just as you
I do feel, just as you
So why can’t you be nicer?
Because you have no clue
Of what you do to me

So, you cant change what you don’t know
Why cant you try to find out
the hurt you cause me
is more than enough,

I yell because that is all you ever did to me
I cant change
Not fully
Because this is who I am
My past is set in stone
And that stone effects my future
So how am I ment to change
When all I have ever known how to do
Is yell
Is cry

Is hope, hope that you will understand
But I guess that will never change
Because you will always take her side
You will never choose me over her
You once said that you don’t favor
But I know now that all that was
Was a Lie
