Grace had been forfeit for pride
My soul has been trampled upon endlessly
They care not what words their actions speak
Care not whose hearts their exploits break
Wounds can heal with love and care
Yet all I feel is hate and fear
I say they know not what they do
Know not how the pain reverberates with in me
Self confidence has long since perished
Battered down with thoughtless deeds
I can not live my life this way
Can not hate myself for them
Hell envelops every day I am here
Sadness echoing through me
They will not bear to think of me
Will not see how far I’ve fallen…been pushed
