Gone Fishin'

I won't apologize for my anger
for my lack of faith in your ways
I will not pretend to be happy
claiming the pain is just a phase

I cannot see why you're so hard on me
you thought that I was stronger
and I screamed it at you that I'm not
and I broke for your tormenting longer

than I could take to bear
pushing harder than I could withstand
tough love was so tough I fell
or maybe you just forgot the situation at hand?

Still, I broke and you lost
and that's where we are in terms
no peace in me, the confrontation from you
you passed off as acknowledgement still burns
and the things you constantly tell
leave me feeling like I fell
face first in a bed of worms,

got dirt on my chin and nose,
let's just abort the entire mission
nothing else to do, so for now
don't bother, I'm gone fishin'.
