I did what I thought was right,
And they came to hate me.
I looked to you [bad word] 
And your look broke me. 

I stood there, humble,
And I bore my soul to them.
I told them everything, 
And they laughed and they condemned 
Everything I was and everything I’d ever loved. 
I tried so hard to make them proud of what I had [bad word]  

I was forced into this by pride. 
(And forced out by the same.)
I will admit some regret.
(But confess no shame.)
I only wanted a release. 
(But I never wanted this.)
I should have foreseen.
(What I will now never miss.)

My only crime was existing.
For that I was thrown away.
They’ll never love someone like me. 

I came to you for solace,
And you turned me away.
So here I am alone again.
