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
