All the hatred in your eyes,
You be ruining people’s lives,
You don’t care about what other people feel or say,
You just want them to go away,
You lash out because you’re afraid,
Afraid to be betrayed,
You walk around with your head to the ground,
You be buying things by the pound,
You’ve been through so much,
You could use just the right touch,
I sit and watch you cry your eyes out at night,
I watch you try to act fine in all, despite,
You want to know who this person is,
This person loves kids,
This person is me,
I just want to die and be free!
