Your Excuse
~Headstrong 12/03/03

I need to know
Why you have to push me away-
To get closer to me?
Why you have to put me down-
To love me?
How do you bring me joy-
By bringing me misery?
You're logic's warped
Twisted in your brilliant mind
This isn't the you I knew
Who in I could confide
Insecurity is no excuse
For your brutality
And no matter
How many times I say
I cannot convey
The pain you cause
In this troubled mind
I have my flaws-
But don't well all?
So why must mine-
Be on display?
Why must I fall?
Do you try to hide-
Behind my mistakes?
Not to take responsibility-
For your own?
Your words I thought once
Would never hurt me
But as they sink into my mind
They start to make me see
That what you say
And what you think
Get to me
They become my reality
Insecurity is no excuse
For your brutality
And no matter
How many times I say
I cannot convey
The pain you cause
In this troubled mind
