You Can'T

You can't… Break what is already broken. You can't… End what never began. You can't… Go back in time and change things You can't… Reset and start over again You can't… Be born into a different family You can't… erase all the abuse You can't… Just accept that you deserved it. You can't… Keep being their excuse. You can't… Take back all the tears you cried. You can't… Mend your broken heart. You can't… Keep on fake smiling You can't…. Keep hiding your torn apart. You can't…. Keep thinking that you're worthless. You can't…. Keep thinking you're to blame. You can't… Keep hating yourself. You can't… Keep feeling the shame. You can't… Ever forget what happened. You can't… Stay stuck in your past. You can't… Deny yourself a chance You deserve to be happy at last!
