Not Worth It

Written in my skin
Is everything I could have been
The words you said
Turned it into a game
Everything I’ll never see
I have better things to do
Then sit here thinking of you
I hide my tears
With a smile filled with pain
But you’ll never notice
You’re blind to my emotions
I’d rather die
Then give you the pride
Of seeing how much
You really hurt me
You’re not worth my time
Or my silent tears and rhyme
You didn’t even notice
Or you just didn’t care
The pain you bring me
Is too much to bear
