I don't know why I bother to try, <br />even though I know, <br />you'll never be satisfied <br />I'm not what you want, <br />I'm not what you need. <br />but you're twisting and turning my reality. <br />I'm lost in the shuffle, <br />buried with my troubles. <br />you're killing my emotions, <br />losing my trust, <br />you look at me with a sense of disgust. <br />this is my world, <br />you are my fear <br />I think things would be better, <br />without you near <br />I'm losing myself <br />cowarding down to you <br />You're words they are permanent to me <br />just like a tattoo. <br />All these people that think they're so tough. <br />try, being reminded that you're never good enough. <br />you're killing me slowly, <br />I'm almost dead. <br />I imagine you smile as you drift off to bed. <br />this isn't right, this isn't fair <br />it's nothing, I don't expect you to care <br />I know whose right <br />I know whose wrong <br />but you'll figure it out, <br />once I'm finally gone.<br /><br />Candy Simpson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-mum/
