Here I Am

Here i am. Come get me. Strike me down.

Give it your best shot!

I've been kicked around

let down

and stomped on.

So just try to hurt me!

GO ON! TRY!

Your too late.

You missed your chance to kick me while i'm down.

But just wait,,

Give a minute.

it wont take long for them to push me down again.

Getting put down and constant regret

is how i have to live my life.

You have no clue

how it feels to have no one there..

they make promises all the time..

i promise it won't happen again,

i promise it was an accident,

i promise it'll be okay.

Well i'm sick of promises!

I'm sick of crying!

Just leave me alone...

Let me be...

Me..
