Worthless


You take what I have and laugh

you take a look at me and gag

you take what is "yours" and throw it on the floor

I haven't eaten in weeks because you called me fat

i ate till i was sick because you called me anorexic

i put make up on because you called me ugly

i cut my hair because you said it was nappy

my arms are covered in scars because you called me worthless

and said that my mom made the wrong purchases

i should have been aborted you said

you make me lay and do nothing in bed

I'm worthless didn't you hear?

can no one hear the pain that blasting through?

can no one see what you put me through?

guess i really shouldn't live isn't that what you've been trying to prove?

well you've made your point i guess ill go

but one last thing before i pass

oh now you want to take that all back?

I'm sorry but its to late for that

you've made your point now

its ok i get it

you wanted what i had so you took it

and now the mess you've made is too big to handle

next time i hope you see what you say makes an impact

on anyone you do that to

just take a second to think before you do

you never know what pain might make a person do...
