Hurting

I try not to I really do But you can't see that You only see that I'm hurting you I protect myself from others You protect yourself from me I hurt with words, slaps, & jokes I don't mean I try not to I really do But you told me And I see that I snap, slap, and crab Now I cry And I do not try to stop it My mind is in a coma Protecting itself from hurt From the pain and the cage Now you try to break in Saying that I do not hurt But you're wrong I hurt whomever I touch Do not get me wrong You've really been there for me But I do not want to hurt So I must forget. . .
