Look At Me

You brought me to my knees,
Im not as strong as I used to be.
Where once there was confidence,
Now there's only defense.
Im the enemy in your eyes,
And Im captured in this web of lies.
I sit alone without a prayer,
My body shakes with despair.
Youve taken from me all you could 
take,
And made sure I paid for each 
mistake.
You watch me sit in total fear,
And laugh at each and every tear.
I lean against this great big wall,
And pray that God will take my call.
You tell the world of all my faults,
And now you win by default.
I look around and its plain to see,
You're wish came true ..
Just look at me.
