Emotional Abuse
Some how, you say that I'm the one to blame,
I deserved for you to treat me the way you did.
It was always my attitude that set you off.
Even though I was just a kid.
I'd cry myself to sleep at night,
Wishing, for all the pain to fade.
Knowing I could end it all,
Just one quick slice of the razor blade.
I slept with it beside me,
Disgusted by its sight.
And every day I'd wonder,
If I'd ever be alright.
You made me feel so worthless.
I always felt alone.
No one understood me,
Especially at home.
I never really wanted to death.
I just wanted to get away.
And I thank god, I never had the guts,
Each and every day.
