What did I do?/Acceptance

I can feel your hate,
From across the room,
Perhaps it is fate; 
That I am meant to be doomed.

I don't know what it is that I did,
I wish you would tell me.
Is it something I did as a kid?
Please, can you just help me see?

I'd try to make things right,
If I ever could.
But try for you as I might, 
Nothing ever seems to be good.

I can keep trying all I want,
I don't know if it'll ever be enough.
My fears and sadness continue to haunt,
But I'll try to remain tough.

Around my heart I build a wall,
This time out of something that cannot break.
I build it sturdy, I build it tall,
It will no longer shatter, not even after an earthquake. 

Now even when I face rejection,
It will no longer faze me.
For I cannot feign perfection,
I am who I was always meant to be.
