I Can’t Try Anymore

You hurt MY feelings...

but when I say you caused me pain,

somehow it's my fault.

Somehow, you can so easily treat me badly and hurt my feelings

but as soon as I defend myself

I'm the problem.

Somehow, I start all the problems and the fights!

Somehow I always have to be right and know it all.

So my answer... I will retreat

I won't come around

I won't say my opinions or feelings

I won't make an effort anymore.

Hurt masks itself in many ways

there could be tears,

there could be yelling,

there could be discussions,

or I could just walk away.

I've done all of those things

and yet no matter what I do, it is never the right thing.

So much hurt, that I mask with an icy glare or a blank stare.

It's not worth my effort anymore.

It's not worth my time.

It's not worth the worry and hurt anymore.

You don't worry about me.

Afterall, I'm not your daughter.

I just married your son.
