The Reason

I’m sorry I’m not what you wanted
Because the pain in my heart always taunted
I’m sorry I’m cracked and broken
There are a couple of truths that must be spoken

I was beaten and bruised
I was sexually abused
I was pushed around
But then I found a way to hide my sorrow
And have a reason for my tomorrow
It helped me cloak my internal strife
So thank you my only loyal friend
The Knife

As I tell you the truth, I know you won’t believe
Because you think all I do is deceive
I didn’t tell you when I was there
Because I knew you wouldn’t care

Now I will confide
The reasons for my along awaited suicide
