Complete sadness

I...

I hurt
I cry
I hide

You don't listen
You don't care
You don't take blame

My pain is real
My thoughts are real
My feelings are real

His actions are cold
His stare is of disgust
His words have thorns

I'm angry
I'm corrected
I'm belittled

You're perfect
You're correct
You're smart

I've cried
I've explained
I've begged

You've denied
You've ignored
You've dismissed

She wants love
She wants acceptance
She wants understanding

He wants money
He wants a career
He wants the best

She'd hide her face
She'd lie the pain away
She'd pretend she wasn't falling apart

He'd turn it around
He'd blow it off
He'd mock it

I'd cry in the shower
I'd pretend I wasn't wilting
I'd say I'm fine

You'd say sorry
You'd do it again
You'd then wonder why I'm sad

I'll keep withering away
I'll keep holding it in
I'll keep hiding

You'll never understand
You'll never change
You'll never except
