The screaming has gotten louder,
The names have gotten worse.
The funny thing is,
You don't care that it hurts.

I've tried,
Tried so fucking hard.
But you've left me
Broken and scarred.

I made a promise.
One I can barely keep
Because you pushed me
And knocked me off my feet.

So, thank you
For the daggers to my skin.
But also, fuck you
For making me hurt within.
