Accept Me

The words I choose to say to you never seem to get through
I don't know what you expect of me, or what's left for me to do
I've tried everything I know to dig a way into your frozen heart
But the walls around it won't let me in, I can't break them apart

So now I'm standing here in my shell, trying to fade away
Then maybe you won't see me or how I failed and went astray
Drowning in the words you said, crumbling in your thoughts
Why can't you see the battle scars from how hard I've fought?

Why can't you just accept me for the person I choose to be?
Is there something that I am missing, something I should see?
The reasons that you give me for your anger just don't seem to fit
I've tried to figure it out on my own, but I don't understand one bit

These stupid rhymes are all I have, since you won't listen to what I say
Instead you lay back and respond with words of "I don't know" and "Okay"
Well how about actually saying more than that, an explanation would be good
True reasons for why you're always angry, please tell me, if you would

I don't know how I can love you so much, when you treat me like I'm not real
If you think these words don't hurt me, well, I might not ever heal
Your actions make me quiver, and I'm sick of the tears you make me cry
Can't you just be nice to me, for god's sake, can't you just try?

If I mean as much to you as you like to let me believe
Then give me the type of treatment that you would like to receive
The things you say and do to me are beginning to take their toll
I used to be so strong, I used to be together, but I'm no longer whole.

^^ This really, REALLY needs some work. haha
