I hate that you're in


I hate that you're in such pain

I've been through some things,
Too
It's enough to drive us insane
Through it all stay strong, remain
You
Dangerous habits become engrained 
To dull an ache that has no name
Why
Because someone has you in their sites
To do more wrong to you than right
Sigh
Maybe it's because of their emotional greed
They plant these toxic seeds, and
Lie
When you've had enough, say
Stop
Their punching bag, crutch you are
Not
