Assumption Tore Apart
My intentions were never to fight you,
I had no one to relate to share to,
On many occasions you brought me back,
To the past through the same feelings you had,
I looked up to you, I respected your strength,
I wanted the fear I had hidden so long to go away,
My heart was dying slowly yet you saw me as a threat,
I looked to you like family, yet I got ridiculed instead,
I turned my back and walked away,
How could I trust someone who would make fun of my pain,
Is this the family I thought i knew?
After all the loss we all had been through?
My heart sank so low, I couldn't stand the pain,
I had no choice but to walk away,
It took all my strength just to open up my heart,
But it was your assumptions that tore it apart.
