Disappointment

You look at me
But you don’t see
That I tried my best
Just let me be

I work hard
But it’s not enough
You don’t care
That it’s too tough
I can’t do this
For me or you
So I give up
I am threw

I am sick
Of the pain you deal
The scars you leave
Are very real

You belittle me
More each day
I wasn’t perfect
So I must pay

You don’t care
Or even try
To understand
The reasons why

I am never enough
To make you proud
The words you say
Echo very loud

So I give up
But I wish you well
‘Cause I’ll be laughing
When you're in hell
