Why I am who I am

Contributed by Jaycee on Tuesday, 26th April 2005 @ 07:01:46 AM in AEST
Topic: Grief



You always ask
why I am who I am
but your lifeless lipservice
is all but a sham

Why can't you see
that my life is my own
so stop intefering
And leave me alone,

You pretend that you care
your concern is so cheap
Rivers of blood flow
the cuts are so deep

It's time to prove it
Show me some care
You know you can't do it
You'll fail this dare

Behind close doors
grind me into the ground
then slither away
not making a sound

You deny its existence
that suffer I do
life is just fine
because its fine for just you

Like a flower I spring
through a crack in cement
then you snuff out that life
with much anger you vent

My visions so colorful
in a world filled with flak
you smother me down
and paint my soul black

You've ruined my life
my body you tear
now you claim to help
and offer repair

A volume of lies
what you offer to me
and eternal suffering
coupled with dishonesty
