Reese's Pieces

I've Tried

Eleven years, going onto twelve,
How much more can I take?
How long could I stand this madness?
Sooner or later, it won't be long before I break...

They've wished I could do more,
All I did was put it in the trash, at least that's what they thought that's what I've done...
How could I when that's how they see me?
They see me as a different person, like I don't belong...

Being perfect was what I've tried for the last ten years...
What's the point of it, when all they do is taunt you?
Trust me, I've been through the worst...
What more do they want me to do?

Your words pass me like a bullet through my head...
Question is: will you be there for me?
Will you comfort me throughout my hardest times?
Will you act like a parent that you are supposed to be?

I've tried...for you...for everyone in the family...
But it's not enough is it?
Well let me tell you this:
I would climb the highest mountain, be in the most dangerous storms, be in the riskiest situations just for you.
Yet, you just have to beat me with every hit.

I've tried to be the daughter you've always wanted, though I've failed...
