They


They never knew just how much I hurt and they never knew just how bad I felt They only knew that they were in control that I was weak and suffered through it all They never cared how many tears I cried and they never cared that all they said were lies All they cared was that in the end they won that I was alone and had nowhere to run They didn't know that they were breaking my heart they only knew that I was falling apart They didn't care if I was afraid they only cared that they made me that way I want them to see that my weakness made me strong and I want them to know that they were always wrong I found a way to be better than I've been and to guard my heart so it never breaks again
