Did You Tried

Who taugh you to hate yourself 
Who hurt you so bad that your soul cried
Tell me who caused all this anger that 
you have bottled up and is starting to show on 
your skin and on your face that you have refused 
to smile for anyone else because you have no trust in humans now
Did they steal all your enjoy
Did they ask you to love and trust them and then 
they left without telling you. Who taugh you to hate 
yourself so much that you placed yourself second.
You tried to please them didn't you; complain less 
pretend that everything was golden.
You tried to be everything they wanted didn't
