Selfish Child
If I stay here for a while
do you think I'll understand?
If I hold out a little longer
will it work out like I planned?
Will I be acceptable to you
without having to change me?
Will I find the strength to stay
never needing to break free?
You were supposed to be there...
for me.
You slammed the wall
flashed your eyes like a flame
Screamed at me so much
I can't stand the sound of my name
"I brought you into this world
and I can take you out!"
Where did you get that from?
What was that all about?
You should have filled me with confidence
Instead you filled me with doubt
You just didn't care...never cared but you see
You were supposed to be there...
for me.
