This life takes my words away

My very breath is so heavy and strained

Their dark minds clashed against the light in mine

Whenever I turned there was a knife

I can't explain why it hurts

Those cold shoulders they showed to me

There I was in need truely unhappy

But how can you call them a friend if they are never seen

In all the times I was afraid I could not call upon them to help me

Their hearts I thought were pure

Now I look upon them as closed doors

I was used then thrown aside

I poured into them every ounce of life

If this is what I'm granted for caring too much

My feelings are so damaged from what they have done

I did everything they wanted of me

To the point I didn't feel like a human being

I let my years pass me by never questioned or wondered why

They smashed my heart as they tried to erase me

I was their slave became damned and replaced

There is a bitterness in me that cannot be contained

You stole all the faith I had and threw me to the outside

The hell I went through one day at a time

You all were laughing while I sat alone and cried

I stared at the wall thinking to myself everyday

Of all the things they should have done but stayed away

How could I not be bitter when I've been cored

While I'm that woman who'll forever me scorned

But still you blame me for what I hadn't done for you

I couldn't do anything but you hate me like a fool

I'm sorry but I no longer do anything for the likes of you

I'm bitter but you're the one who's cruel
