Knife In My Heart

It’s like a knife in my heart,
They tell me I’m not smart,
You’ve got a sway in your walk,
And you get me with your talk!

Is it my hair, my health, or my height?
Could you please just stop it, alright?
Grief and woe are taking over my life,
One day someone, save me from this trouble and strife!

You humiliate me!
What will this become to be?
This seems as it is a battle with no end,
Why don’t we just call it quits and be friends?

You’re just a knife in my heart,
Piercing me like a dart,
I scream in the darkest hours of the night,
Please someone come and be my light!
