I Try
December 6, 2013
I don’t understand why you don’t know.
How you think that you know me and how I am living.
I am broken and bent.
Understand that just because you have problems,
that you don’t have the right to hurt me.
I am not your toy.
I am not the person who you get to take all of your anger out on.
I am a human being.
I love.
I get mad, as you can see.
And I try.
I try everyday to be a person worth living.
But you, you make it so hard to go on.
I won’t give you the satisfaction of me giving up.
I’m not going down by you.
