Fall to the Floor
Ever since i was a child
I’ve always felt so alone
sometimes i think i would be normal
if just a little love had been shown
tell me, was it something that I did
to have you abandon me like this
so young, and never knowing a mother’s love
never knowing the feel of a loved ones touch
But you pushed, and you pushed
until i fell to the floor
but now you can’t push me around anymore
I’d go to school with belt marks on my back
wearing the same clothes i did yesterday
as all the “normal children” laughed
i’d just try to block them out and pray
Tell me, was it something horrible i did
to have you trash me like this
so young, and not knowing a friendships trust
never knowing the feel of a loved ones touch
but they laughed and they laughed
until i ran out the door
now they can’t force me to crack anymore
Everything i wanted to say
i never said out loud
i was so afraid
it wasn’t enough to make you proud
Tell me was whatever i did
enough to have you leave me like this
all grown up, without your love
i didn’t need your precious touch
but you pushed and you pushed
until i fell to the floor
now you can’t push me around anymore
Tell me do you feel what i felt now
being yelled at and pushed to the ground
i hope you realize what i could’ve been
had you shown a little compassion
I’ll continue to push
until you fall to the floor
but don’t expect me to help you up
anymore.
