Useless

I don't understand why it matter,
Weather I live or die.
You never really cared.
All I am to you is a burden.
Your empty threats and stupid lies,
Never meant a thing to me.
The promises never kept,
Or the gifts you never gave,
Are all but a distant memory.
You don't get that I'm your child,
Not your slave.
So learn to treat me like your equal,
Not your enemy.
Whenever I'm finally happy,
You always find a way to cut me down.
My friends won't come over,
And you wont let me leave.
I might as well be a prisoner,
In my own fucking house.
When you leave a person alone long enough,
They find ways to take out all that is pent up inside of them,
Mine is with a blade.
Every night before I go to sleep,
I reflect upon my day.
And decide what is worthy to be written,
Upon my arm.
A line for this,
A cut for that.
Soon enough I'll have a book,
And when it's finished,
I'll dedicate it to you.
You cold hearted bastards.
For you never cared enough,
To see past the abuse,
The pain that you caused me,
I have been and always will be,
Useless in your eyes.
