Neglect

written by: GrenadeJumper

The memories that I contain
I store in the back of my brain
I know one day I'll release this pain
But for now it'll all build up
No one here ever gives a fuck
No one cares
All I get is a bullshit lie and a blank stare
It burns deep inside and I can't now just start
To begin to hide the expressions on my face
From all the pain and disgrace
I'm burning and I'm tortured
I've relinquished my thoughts of
A brand new day and all this shit that pays
I can't get by
I can't just die
I can't fade out of this white hot spotlight
That's glaring down on me
All of these people telling me what to be
Let me be and let me breath
Let me take a step back and see
The devastating effect
Of the painful neglect of a child from birth
Its more of a curse a bloody fucking hell
That we're all condemned to burn in
But for some its just another place to ruin people's dreams in
Dreams of hope, dreams of pride,
Dreams of this numbing feeling from deep inside
I abide and reside with what you've told me was true
And now I'll never be able to rebound
And I'll never be able to blame you
Because you're too close to my heart
I'll take another glance of my dreams falling apart
In desperation and despair
I reach for nothing but air
I slowly start to lose it
I slowly start to slip
But then i start to realize that no one gives a shit
