Tears Staining My Paper

Family taunting me
life going down the drain
I shouldn't have to live my life
in a worthless pit of shame.

Unsteady emotions
people call me names
I can't walk down the hall
without their words of pain.

Every thought seems empty
and every word I speak
everything is so messed up
without you I'm so weak.

Please get your head together
so we can keep in touch
seeing you now without me
feels like it's too much.

Tears staining my paper
as I write my feelings down
everyone staring at me
they look at me and frown.

I wish things would be different
I wish things could be right
I wish our love was still strong
and we could forget about this fight.
