never, only left

I was never allowed to need anything
I was never allowed to need love
I was never afforded understanding
I was never afforded to be seen above
I was never permitted to wander
I was never permitted to be free
I was only ever left to be alone
I was only ever left to grieve
I was only left to take the blame
I was only left to drink the shame
I was only left to feel the hurt
I was only left to be put back in the dirt

They took the last bit of hope i had
That I could still be loved
How could i continue on if
They never saw me from the start

They took the life i tried to make
Where everyone could be happy
I made the blueprint by myself
Because they pretended to wash their hands clean

And now they disintegrate
All the careful planning and thought
And once again abandon me
And willingly left me here to rot
