Hurt

I don't know why I bother to try,
it only causes my soul to cry.

I try to act just like you,
which earns me a glance that makes me blue.

Everything I do and say,
makes you push me farther away.

My physical health is just fine,
but emotionally I'm borderline.

You've made my esteem crash and burn,
it would take a miracle for my life to turn.

At least there is some hope for me,
you can create that miracle, can't you see??

All you have to do is be my friend,
and my downward spiral will come to an end.

This miracle, though, you don't realize,
and I'll stay the same in your eyes.

And outcast that will never fit in,
condemned for committing some social sin.

You are the cause of my emotional distress,
but I won't blame you, I'll just cause a mess.

Instead I'll keep my hurt deep inside,
and hope it will wash away with the years like the tide.
