Why?

By: Paige S.

 

I don’t care, go away…

I don’t want to hear, what you have to say.

It’s too late; it’s been too long

I am no longer weak, I AM STRONG!

You used to give me chills when I saw your face,

Scared me half to death when you walked into a place,

But now I could care less, and when you insult me

It doesn’t matter… no one’s impressed.

I just want to know…

Why would you make me cry?

I just don’t understand…

Why, would you want me to die?

You say you’re sorry,

You say you’ve changed…

But the damage is done, and there is still pain.

I forgive you, it’s not all your fault…

It’s just sad because this is how you were taught.

Through this experience I have learned that,

I AM PERFECT and that’s a fact.
