Does It Have To Be Like This? Poem by Violet Warren

I'm here, waiting
wishing for you to come your senses
I'm all you'll ever need
I am all you will ever need

Come to this place in time
where you can find
me hear listening
for all of your lies
and maybe, just maybe
I'll be on the frontlines
but I still don't care
I guess I should wish a
you a goodbye
look me in the eye and
say it to me, say that you don't lie

fine, I'll go anyways
what should I care
you will always be the same
can you even hear?
are these words for nothing?
please tell me am I screaming?
am I screaming for something?

oh why do you drag me down?
or am my just a clown
to you and your sick little games?
your nonstop shame
will you ever change your ways?
will you change your ways?

say it to me, say that you don't lie
you can't say it with a straight face
because you have the fear in you eyes
you think I'll never know
but seeds that you sow
have always told
me who you are
and what makes you fall apart

does it have to be like this?
or can you just act normal for once?
because sometimes I just can't
take it anymore
it's tearing me apart
ripping out my heart
it's not suppose to be like this...
it's not suppose to be like this
