Alone
I should be happy, I should be carefree
I should be open, and brave, and believe in everything I see
But the truth is I dont, I feel trapped and alone
Waiting for you to just tell me, 'come home'
Why do you hate me? What have I done?
I spent my entire life for you to say I love you a ton
Sure, you've saying the L word to me
But never once did it feel like you meant a thing
I'm not a dog or a cat or any pet
I'm a human thats been left
There are holes in my heart that will never be filled
Because instead of changing youd rather be killed
I've grown up and become as close to a women as my body will allow
but if you really look, I'm still that same scared little girl, trying to figure it outFigure out why this world can be so cruel and unforgiving
Expecially to those who are still living
Mom, I forgive you for everything you've done

A Little Girl's Lullaby
I sit down in the chair and quietly weep
As you tell me that I don't mean a thing
You remind me of all my many flaws
But fail to mention you are the cause
I sit alone in my room desperate for the sound
For the words that I know, will never come out
I thrash and flail and scream and shout
But never once did you ease my doubt
No you made it worse, you twisted the knife
Deeper and deeper into my insides
Until I'm bleeding nothing but sorrow and grief
How could you do that? How could you do that to me?
In the end all I wanted was for you to say I love you
But in the end all I got was I wish I didn't have you
You abused me and used me and then left me
You took everything I loved and made it yours
