Misery


How could this happen to my family
I never tried to hurt anybody
I just wanted a life demolished of misery
Always wished it was made of happy stories
One may say that I'm oh so negative
Never to see a day where I would be positive
All this time I've lived in depression
Never had any good impressions
How could this happen to my family
I never tried to hurt anybody
I just wanted a life demolished of misery
Always wished it was made of happy stories
My whole life I've lived in misery
I'm my own personal horror story
Struggled threw abuse and neglection
Who would of thought I'd make a confession.
I thought I had a mom that loved me
Always fighting for the right to have me
Never realizing I was just her money
Never wanted to work
Always was lazy
How could this happen to my family
I never tried to hurt anybody
I just wanted a life demolished of misery
Always wished it was made of happy stories
I thought I had a dad that loved me
Took me in when I was a baby
Cared for me while my mom always partied
Little did I know it was all an allusion
He only cared for his new born child
Treating me as if we were not an equal
Then there came the beer and all went down hill
He treated me as if a where a maid
How could this happen to my family
I never tried to hurt anybody
I just wanted a life demolished of misery
Always wished it was made of happy stories
Never had time to do anything
Always being told I was crazy
Living with mom who hated me
Doing her drugs treated me like a baby
Thats when it all started happening
The cutting and screaming and never being happy
How could this happen to my family
I never tried to hurt anybody
I just wanted a life demolished of misery
Always wished it was made of happy stories
Scaring my friend with over dose glories
Never realizes how it was harming me
Wanting to die rather than live in misery
Always having guys fall all over me
only to push away all who cared
Never wanting anything sympathy but only the magnificence of death
How could this happen to my family
I never tried to hurt anybody
I just wanted a life demolished of misery
Always wished it was made of happy stories
