This Pain


Why does this always

happen to me?

I hurt everyone

around me.

Why must this always

happen?

I’m nothing but

a messed up

young girl.

Forgive me please,

For the pain I caused

I did not mean to

cause this pain.

I will turn the pain,

on myself instead.

For it is me who deserves

this pain.

Not you,

but me.

I’m sorry for making

you feel this way.

Why must I

hurt everyone

around me?

I will turn this pain,

onto myself tonight.

For it is me who

deserves this pain.

Not you,

but me.
