It cuts like a knife

It cuts like a knife

If you don't love me for who i am
Feel the need to change me into
What you want me to be walk away
I say and never come back

Trying to be me is hard enough
Your harsh words cut through
Me just like a knife

Enough i say find another way
To confront your own failures
let go of your miserable ways

I let you abuse me in so many ways
Not one more minute of one more day
Will i let you hurt me in any way

The abuse i endured from you day to day
made me feel as if i was going insane
You had me convinced that if i would change
No more would you hit me or call me names

It took me this long to find my way back
To a place of honor love and respect i
No longer value what you have to say
Your a mean individual with rotten things
To say you don't hate me you hate yourself
I am everything that you want to be i have a soul
A heart and yes when you hurt me i cry you
Never understood that you never even tried

I can't find my poems!? I can't access them. Is there something wrong with the sight?

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
