How You Make Me Feel

You tell me things about myself,
That I already know inside,
You accuse me of wrong doings,
But what is so wrong about being in love?
You tell me what I say or do wrong,
But what is really wrong about being myself?
I try to help,
I try to fit in,
Just by being myself,
But you don’t understand what it feels like,
To be hurt again and again,
Especially the ones I love,
You turned around and hurt me,
If I were you,
I’d turn and see,
The hurt you caused me.
What did I ever do so wrong?
What did I ever do so bad?
To deserve this world of hurt,
That I’m residing in,
All I ever wanted was to love,
And be loved in return,
You want to crush that which is in me,
Unknowingly you do,
You push me down once again,
My wound is not a mere scratch,
Yet you push me up and make me walk,
Even when I hurt so bad,
Then you do it all over again,
I try to hide,
All of this pain inside,
But it refused to hide any longer,
I need to sit and weep,
From all this pain I keep,
You tell me to grin and bear it,
But you don’t know how hard that is,
To just turn and walk away,
It’s like a stalker,
Silent in the night,
It attacks when you’re the most vulnerable,
When you’re the farthest down,
Yet you think it’s no big deal,
But you don’t know my pain,
You don’t understand a thing,
Especially not what I say,
And not what I do,
I used to care for you,
But I’m not sure if I can any longer,
Because of all this pain you caused,
If only you could see,
What stands right in front of you,
I tried to tell you,
I tried to show you,
You just refused to listen and see,
I tried,
I truly did,
But you chose not to care,
You chose not to listen or see,
What you were doing to me,
Emotionally you beat me,
But you chose not to care,
About a hurt little girl,
With long dish-water-blonde hair,
And forest green eyes,
She asked for your help,
But all you caused was more pain,
I just wanted you to know,
How bad you hurt me.
