Toxic

You break me

I try and try

yet all you see is disappointment

worthlessness

a waste of time and space

I was happy and you tore me down

I was content and you shattered me

why get back up

when you are all to ready to kick me down

why struggle to break free when you shackle me

how do i escape

how do i become my self

when I live in your shadow

when i am trapped in your arms

I love you

you destroy me

i fight back

you make yourself the victim

you claim to know whats best

but you cannot see the dark you create

the pain you cause

you only see what you want

and say what you feel is right

and at the finale

right before the curtain falls

i will bow

and you will lose me

and I will be free.
