Tears,

 

The water that provides me with my emotions,

Tears are a pond of my angry commotion,

A stream of hatred that forms my remotion,

Enough to fill two hands like an ocean.

 

There's meaning behind every drop of water,

Every tear I make falls a little bit harder,

It hurts to feel them course through my body,

like a waterfall that drown in a waving tsunami.

 

The venom in my heart fills 'till I can breathe no more,

I'm pretending everything's okay but inside I start wars,

I fall apart and break, like glass that hit the floor,

because all I want from them is to be loved, not ignored.

 

I try to please them, yes, try is the key word,

but they make me feel like everything I do is for the worst,

I'm sorry for everything I've done wrong, and to everyone I can't please

You are the reason I’m done falling to my knees.

 

I love you so much but I don't know if you care

I look at you and think "you treat me so unfair",

You say I’m disrespectful and don't know anything at all,

and you assume my life is nothing but a grand ball.

 

I'll change for you, just to make you feel happy,

just so you can be content with how I've been acting,

I'm trying to look like I'm enjoying this life,

but all I can think about is how you’d be better without mine.

 

You pick me apart and expect me to me perfect,

but last I checked,

there was no such thing

as a perfect

person.

 

So, please stop and listen to your daughter who is broken,

I can no longer take it, my world is an ocean,

I'm drowning in your rules, your expectations, and fears,

you break me so much, you break me to tears,

you see through me, like looking at glass,

you order me around and to do as you ask,

but I can't be your slave for the rest of my life,

so can you please,

please stop,

or I'll lose this fight.
