Hurt

I promised myself that I wouldn't cry During this pointless goodbye There was no need to let you go It left me nothing to show But a broken heart and a damaged soul This wasn't my goal I just wanted to set things right I'm so tired of having to fight Their outrage sounding in a cacophony of distaste Flinging harsh accusations in their angry haste Bringing up every little thing Each word hit me with a sting They got what they wanted And I remain haunted By what I did and what I said The thought of tomorrow fills me with dread There was nothing that i could do The opposition just grew and grew With no one there to defend I just wanted the trial to end Hearing my faults voiced to all Watching them watch me fall Pulled into this unwanted fame I just want to end this shame

You have deep descriptiveness with some appropriate rhyming in this write. By the way, is your name presented backwards here?
