These tears that run down my face cannot describe the pain I feel....my dreams shattered, my spirit shot. It all seemed to be together....like the pieces to a puzzle...I was finally alive and free....but it was all ripped away. These tears I cry are not for myself....but because they don't care. My tears are for their loss....their loss of a daughter...of a part of their life. All I wanted was for them to see me as me...and the person that I can be...the person that I want to be. I don't want them to see me as the failure they think I am. I still think I can be someone great....I'm just afraid....afraid of not being good enough in their eyes. These tears I cry....each one is for a part of me that they are killing...they keep on killing....they are gonna keep on killing until there is nothing left of me for them to hurt anymore....they won't stop until I change for them. I know that I was not the perfect child and I know that I made mistakes....but how else do I learn? But then again...every step that I take in my life is just another mistake. These tears I cry are there because you guys taught me how to hate...not to love. These tears I cry are because you must be truly blind and you can't see ME. Nothing that I have done in years past and to this day have ever lived up to your expectations. No one else in this world that I have met has made me wish that I was no longer here....but YOU do. You are supposed to love and help me...but instead I sit here...crying these tears...these tears are for you. All it would have took is just one minute...one minute to show that you were there and that you cared...but instead you let me cry these tears.....these tears that fell because every time I needed you...you turned your back and walked away....or you just didn't listen to what I was saying. These tears I cry....they are for you....because you are my parents....and through it all...through all of these tears.....I still loved you....I still needed you...so every time you feel the sting of that tear on your face.....remember that these tears that I cry..these tears that sting...these tears that won't go away...these silent tears that I cry...they are all for you...this is what you do to me...
