Didn't Want It

March 14, 2016

Didn't want it,

I didn't want it!

I didn't want the burden,

the hate,

the responsibility,

the agony.

Take it back!

 

Why?

What have I done?

You've ruined me,

don't you see?

My childhood,

in flames.

You've destroyed me,

you've devastated me.

 

All because you gave me things,

that wasn't to be.

All because you gave me things,

that wasn't a child's.

I didn't want it.

Damn it,

I didn't want it!
