The Fear of You

People tell me I'm not good enough People tell me I'm worthless People tell me to just get overstuff So what is my purpose? This is normal to me This is nothing new This is the part where you are supposed to flee So what is the today going to brew? I stand here feeling all alone I stand here quietly thinking I stand here emotionless without a home So what is it ma'am, you are drinking? Is it the smooth taste of my breaking heart Is it the firey taste of your selfish words Is it the clean taste of you attempting your fresh start So what is so absurd? My thoughts are a tidal wave of emotions My thoughts are an endless black hole My thoughts cause all of this useless commotion So what is it exactly you stole? You stole my childhood You stole my pride You stole my sanity You stole my adulthood You stole my stride So what makes me wait so anxiously? The fear of you.
