I''m never told that I am kind
And my soul burns now with fire
Deep inside

I want to become brave and courageous
Not buried in self-pity of my own
Ashamed and alone from all
That''s been done to me
It''s not my fault I remind myself

You say you don''t be afraid
But I feel afraid
You say you don''t laugh or cry
But I show emotion
You say food will be on the table
And birds in the sky
But I''m hungry
So hungry
And it''s cloudy outside

You never loved me like a daughter
You never even loved yourself
And now you treat me like a burden
Just another object on your shelf

I want you to know that I love you
And this pain that I carry''s not my own
Ashamed and alone
From all that''s been done to you
It''s not your fault
I remind myself

No matter what I''ve done
Or is done to me
Nothing unforgivable
Or unable to be set free
