Hurt Unyielding

Im not stupid i can see.
through these tears of mine
i can see.
you think im some weak child who doesnt know pain? you think i dont hurt?
i see whats going on.
you think because you're YOU,
that you have the right to say those things to me?
do you think when you say them it doesnt hurt?
am i not allowed to make mistakes or be upset?
not without being punished for it.
you think my mind is blank and foggy,
like hot breath on a cold window,
and i cant see the trouble staring back at me through it. so i play dumb and blind.
but i can see.
our pain is relentless.
