The nights i cried

you are always screaming
always yelling
you dont need me
you dont realize the pain you cause
you would love to know
if only you knew that you the one who caused my disease
my hatred
my anger
my depression
you were always the cause
oh! how you would feed off the nights i cried
tears burning my eyes
burning my cheeks
oh how you would love to know the misery you caused
the heart i once had
you took
replacing it with nothing
took all my love,
replaced it with hate
replaced it with anger
now i begin to cry
once again
you only smile that smile
and again you feel that power rising inside of you
once again you feel your job to be done
and when you dont look
when you dont notice me
when you dont care {as if you ever did}
i smile
not out of happiness
or love
but of spite
i wont let you break me
i wont let you take the rest of my soul
the peice i saved
you will never win
i shall one day rise above this
this hate
this pain
this life

Author notes

option 2h Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

    The best part, IMO. Great write. Like you are holding on to yourself to stop anyone else from winning.

    Excellent.
