Please Don't

Please,
Please,
Don't take your aches and pains out on me.
I wasn't the one to give them to you,
I wasn't the one to make you feel this why,
so why do you put it all on my back,
on my quickly weakening shoulders.
For years I've taken your abuse,
your insults,
and everything you've hurled at me,
and I kept getting back up,
to try to help you,
to be your backbone,
when you should have been mine.
So ,
Please,
Please,
Don't take out your aches and pains on me,
I wasn't the one to give them to you,
though you are the one to give them to me.
