What did I do to all of you to treat me like this?

I try to change myself.

I give you everything. You give me nothing.

I cut off a limb. You demand another.

My heart crushes with the weight you put on it yet still you shout “add some more”.

I cry out but you all turn away.

My pain, the soundtrack to your life.

My pain,

the thing that eases yours.
