Abandonment is strong within me.

Those who have given up on me rotten.

The feelings radiate through my heart.

How can you live with yourself?

How can you see this as a normal act?

All you do is hurt me, disappoint me.

All the while I am the inside joke.

You are the bully.

You tried to damage me.

You tried to turn me into something I am not.

How can you live with that guilt?

You say if you don't like how things are leave?

How do you justify the means?

Turning me into a liar?

Turning me into something I am not.

Justify this?

Hmm how can you justify this in the end.
