I tried to make you happy
I tried to make you love me
But you hit me
Slapped me
Kicked me

You did it out of love
If only I was less difficult
But what makes me difficult?

I am just a child
I don't understand
Why you say you love me
But yell and hit me
As if I was to blame

In the end it was never me
It was all you

But deep within me
Was your hate
In my heart
In my soul

I let others "love" me
Like you "loved" me
But it was abuse
