• Writing on the Walls

    Why do I read the writing on the walls?
    The rumors are never true
    And every spoken word to me
    Has left me so confused

    Why am I naïve?
    So stupid and selfish, too
    All these attributes leave me
    Broken, beaten and bruised

    I hate this life
    Mostly who I am
    Because I am a monster
    And no one gives a damn

    I try so hard
    Yet expectations are too high
    Every time I get it right
    Someone has to sigh

    They tell me I could do better
    When I’ve done my very best
    And it seems they never care
    About this thing beating in my chest

    These tears I cry
    Are somber and slow
    This numbing resentment
    No one will ever know
