Wounded From the Beginning

I've carried this burden for as long as I've known It has sucked the life out of me and created a clone Someone I don't recognize in the mirror Even though the reflection couldn't be much clearer You see my eyes are empty Hollow holes that once had a path to follow Well, I was cheated Horrible neglected and mistreated I gave everything I had when that wasn't my role It was all I knew and in a way it made me feel whole I felt worthy of something that should just be given But I was never destined for love even if I was driven I later found out it wasn't my issue at all They just had no more love to withdrawal I was skipped, forgotten, left out But who am I kidding I've always had this turn out "Your existence is just too much to bare" Even though I just want to help and share I've come to the conclusion I'm wrecked Incapable of loving another suspect I find it too painful to even try And how would I function at this point without the bad guy Maybe one day I'll figure out what would be But for now I'm just spending time on me
