I Tried
I tried so hard,
It seems i didn't get to far,
Trying to get attention,
All you do is push me away,
You payed more attention to her,
My childhood was a blur,
I tried to make you love me,
I tried to make you see me,
All you did was look the other way,
I cried every day,
You would hit me,
Yell and scream at me,
I would cower away,
Wondering when the nightmare would end,
I would try and hide,
So i wouldn't get in the way,
You would come home in a drunken rage,
I would protect her,
As you struck down,
Hitting hard,
It felt like my back was on fire,
But I cried silently,
Crying out loud,
Only made you hit more,
The end was coming,
I could feel it,
Moving away from you,
Was the best choice,
That I have ever made.
