Unforgivable Plumb

I'm never told that I am pretty
I'm never told that I am kind
And my soul burns now with fire
Deep inside

I want to become brave and courageous
Not buried in self-pity of my own
Ashamed and alone
From all that's been done to me
It's not my fault I remind myself

You say don't be afraid
But I feel afraid
You say don't laugh or cry
But I show emotion
You say food will be on the table
And birds in the sky
But I'm hungry, so hungry
And it's cloudy outside

You never loved me like a daughter
You never even loved yourself
Now you treat me like a burden
Just another object on your shelf

I want you to know now that I love you
And this pain that I carry is not my own
Ashamed and alone
From all that's been done to you
It's not your fault I remind myself
