You claim you love me
You say you care
Yet you leave when things don't seem fair.
But it seems I am the fool
I have been used over and over like a tool
By ones I called family for so long
I try to make them smile
But its never enough
I am left in my own darkness for a while
Until I fake a grin
I fake it well
No one knows and no one cares
My sacrifice is taken for granted
I push forward still
I have always been alone
I always will.
Falling is not an option
Failing is not the choice
Standing up above them all
Holding my head up
Moving past that pesty voice
It will hurt.
It always has
For I am alone.
But it will pass.
