words (depressing)

You tell me I'm growing distant
that I don't care
You tell me that I act like someone else
Another who only makes you scared
You tell me I need to be kind
To love
You tell me that I shouldn't be hard
But soft and carefree like some dove
Now tell me how can I do those things
How do I love myself
When all you make me see is sin
How am I to do as you say
When as soon as I get close enough
You push me away
I want your love
Is that to much to ask
But you just ignore me
As if I'm nothing more than a task
But I shouldn't be so self conscious
Shouldn't think so low
This body is all I have
But now it's taking all of the blows
All these cuts and burns
On this cold pale skin
It all could have been avoided
If only you had let my words sink in
