A Sad Girl's Story

I'm still here Trying to survive Not letting go No need to be revived Not many people understand Not even my mother She's the main reason I sleep With my head under the covers She doesn't know how it feels Or how it changes a person To have someone try to take Your most prized possession She tells me I need to let go And move on with my life How can I do that? I imagine that person every night Not that many people Know my story They don't know where I came from So they form their own thoughts of me Sometimes I wish I wasn't born Maybe then my heart Wouldn't be so torn Maybe I wouldn't think about My dad leaving my life Turning away And not making things right But he has the audacity To be mad and upset I'm so tired of getting my hopes up It's time for me to forget He doesn't know how it feels To be and abandoned child Left with a single mother Struggling to get by But she found a man One after the other She finally settled with one I'm hoping that it's now over Fussing and fighting Almost every single day It's all I ever hear They're always shouting in each other's face Maybe I'm just like her Person after person Thought I had found him Thought I was done searching I was in love And he was my everything I thought he felt the same But it turned out I was his nothing On and off I tried to make it work But he just wasn't ready He just couldn't let her go I was heart broken But I knew it was right It was time to let go And move on with my life
