I’m never told that i am pretty
I’m never told that i am kind
And my soul burns now with fire
Deep inside
I want to become brave and courageous
Not buried in self-pity of my own
Ashamed and alone from all
That’s been done to me
It’s not my fault i remind myself
You say you don’t be afraid
But i feel afraid
You say you don’t laugh or cry
But i show emotion
You say food will be on the table
And birds in the sky
But i’m hungry
So hungry
And it’s cloudy outside
You never loved me like a daughter
You never even loved yourself
And now you treat me like a burden
Just another object on your shelf
I want you to know that i love you
And this pain that i carry’s not my own
Ashamed and alone
From all that’s been done to you
It’s not your fault
I remind myself
No matter what i’ve done
Or is done to me
Nothing unforgivable
Or unable to be set free
