How I Fell So Far....
Can't you see
I am trying my best
To make you happy
Can't you see
I am killing myself
Oh! Its a tragedy
I came from you
I love you
But let me live for me
I am giving everything I have
To make not mine, but your, dreams come true
Everything I do, is all for you
But you are never satisfied
Its never enough for you
So I push myself higher
And farther apart, I am falling from you
I need your hand
I am scared I will fall
I miss you
But you don't see my pain
Just my failure
I try to stop my tears
I tell myself, its for them, that I doing this
Giving up my dreams, my happiness
To make them proud and happy
But its hard to say goodbye
To the only dream you ever had
I remember the nights
I would tell myself
Don't worry, big girl, you will make it there
But I would break the promise I made to myself
To be true to the promise I made to you
But somewhere along the way
I have lost the people to whom I promised
They are gone and the feelings of love, trust and faith
Are replaced by scrutiny, criticism and nags
I am holding on to my promise, and barely so
But what about your promise
To love me, to protect me and to never let go
I hold my hand out
Waiting for you take them and, the warmth
That made me feel safe to envelope me
But the warmth never came
In fact, I just felt a push
As I fell into the cold pit
And I fall
And I fall
And I fall
Oh! I fell so hard!

I can literally fit the poem in my life, it's soo similar...
I loved your writing style :)
So, I wrote this poem, of sort, when my father told me that the word 'try' does not exist in his, and apparently my, dictionary.
I am studying to become CA, and I said to him that I would try my best to pass the entrance exams. He was outraged and said that, well, it doesn't matter. It was hurtful, but I still love him very much. Really, I do. I love him.
I am not good at displaying affections so, I pay attention to the words. The things that others say are imprinted in my mind. I believe in them. So, when the people who said those words, begin to change, I can't accept it and I still try to find that loving, caring person who promised me such sweet things.
I refuse to believe that that person could hurt me.
Even when they do.
