Tired and Old

Tired of peoples hatred towards me
What is it I'm doing?
Don't understand your words
Can't make out your screaming
Numb from peoples hitting
Don't know what I've done wrong
Don't want to hear your lectures
I've been here too long
Thoughtless from peoples words
What is it I'm not doing?
Don't enjoy this pain
Don't enjoy this suffering
