I was only five years old
and cried myself to sleep
You didn't want to be bothered
The nightmares were mine to keep

I was only six years old
had all these pains and fears
You ignored them like you always did
I couldn't show you my tears

I was only seven years old
felt broken and unwhole
You said I had no problems at all
I kept playing the expected role

I was only eight years old
went through hell and back
You kept closing your eyes to it
didn't care my life to be so black


Then I became 13 years old
And 15, 17, 20; even 23
You didn't change, you didn't care
All you think is "me, me, me!"
