What Life is Like For Me

Sorry I'm not good at these.
Can you hear?
Can you see?
What this life has done to me?

Never to be loved..
Never to trust...
My mother has done enough..

To love,
To hate..
Is words I don't like to say..
Mother says I love you..
But all I can think is I hate you..

What you did was not good..
But yet you still never understood..
You never cared about my life..
But yet you still keep me around..
Why?

You keep me around for the sake of others?
Am I your little slave?
When you come home late at night do i
clean up the mess you made?

Im worth nothing to you so
why do you keep me?
Am I suppose to feel happy?
Am I suppose to feel glade?

I want to be free from her..
I want to feel love..
But I cannot feel a single thing
No matter how hard I try...

Do you see what you did to me mother?!?
Do you not see?
The way I am is because of what you did
To me!

I want to die..
I don't love life..
I am not free to do what i
Please...

Can you set me free?
Can I finally be free?
To feel something other than
Hate and rage?
Can I finally feel what could
Have been?should have
Been?

Something that is so important to me
Can't I be set free?
Yes,no?
Maybe...
