A Tormented Soul
A tormented soul
I’ve never felt worthy of love
I’ve always been a tormented soul
When you grow up without seeing
A loving relationship by your parents
You don’t learn how to love
The tension was always thick
You could cut it with a knife
Parents shouldn’t stay together
Just for the sake of their kids
If you don’t love each other
It damages us
We learn from you
When we do find love
We don’t understand it
We run from it
We hurt everyone around us
Remorse isn’t enough
We become bitter
And lonely
Never understanding what went wrong
To be forever tormented
By what we don’t understand
Do I blame my parents
I guess I do
You thought you were doing the right thing
Not letting your kids come from a broken home
But we are damaged
Nobody is really to blame
We just hope for love
For someone to teach us
What it is to love
But when we let ourselves be vulnerable
We feel unworthy
We become cold and distant
Because that’s what we saw growing up
That is our normal
To forever be
A tormented soul
