A life once unknown

Tears of pain streaming down my already damp face,
Words that stain my heart cover the now empty space.
The hateful images that streamed my mind, keep coming back for more.
In my heart there is always pain I don’t know why I keep trying for.
You are never going to listen to what I have to say,
To you I am a little child, and those thoughts never go away.
I don’t understand anything, my maturity level never grew,
I was never good enough, I was nothing to you.
Now you have left my life, broken, and disarranged,
But when you just gave up, something inside me changed.
I stopped trying to be something I’m not, and just let the rain fall,
I didn’t try to cower down, but I stood tall.
I was finally the person I never got to be,
I let you in on the true me.
