I Can't
I can't.
I can't stand the way you put me down,
like I'm some cold hearted soul.
you wish tears upon my cheeks,
just waiting for my downfall.
I can't.
I can't love you like I should,
with you dominating your throne.
I take your words of hatred,
and fill my head with lies.
I can't.
I can't stand your screaming voice,
telling me I'm worth nothing,
telling me I'll never be something,
telling me things I hate to hear.
I can't.
I can't hear these stabbing words,
these phrases I wish to diminish.
You with to feel superior,
making my life some bitter hell.
I can't.
I can't be all those things,
ugly? not good enough? dumb?
You devour my self esteem to shreds,
my confidence just some corpse.
I can't.
