• World-weary,
    Jaded much too early,
    I am no longer a child.

    Innocence is dead,
    Blame falls on no one,
    and everyone.

    Counseling? Ha.
    If you think that will work,
    You're wrong. (Idiots.)

    Why did you lean on me?
    Why did you punish my tears?
    Why do you pretend to care again?

    I was broken,
    I am breaking,
    I was never whole.

    A heart that'll never be whole...

    Maybe if I pretend
    That I'm listening, learning,
    They'll let me go. (No.)

    Damn it, it hurts
    To have so many look to you,
    To be the cool, calm, collected one.

    You start to shut down,
    You begin to die,
    and you can't blame them...

    Why did you lean on me?
    Why did you punish my tears?
    Why do you pretend to care again?

    I was broken,
    I am breaking,
    I was never whole.

    A heart that'll never be whole...

    You see the scars?
    You feel the pain?
    It's the same.

    That's what I've felt.
    I've lost my purpose...
    What was childhood like?...

    I wanted to be a cop,
    A Vet, an artist,
    An authoress...

    Why did you lean on me?
    Why did you punish my tears?
    Why do you pretend to care again?

    I was broken,
    I am breaking,
    I was never whole.

    A heart that'll never be whole...
