It built up so long ago, but you didn't hear

I cried and the dark was something I feared

I wanted your hand in mine

Maybe I would have been fine

But it's too late because I'm alone

To you that's not what I've shown

But the scars on my arms are there

You say this isn't fair

I cut because of you never caring

All you did was cry to me

I'd sit, and hug you tightly

I'd listen and wouldn't take it lightly

Every word meant something

But to you I was nothing

Now that your back I'm scared

Everything you shared

Hurt deep like knives in my skin

I don't want to do it again

I am a precious child of god

You look and say I'm odd

But never will I change for you

I'll change for me because you...

Never listened
