Hate me, You're not Alone.

I'm that gift you get on your birthday, the one you open to find that there's nothing inside but broken promises.
There's nothing inside me worth searching for.
People have all these expectations, I hate to let them down.
It's not my fault I'm not what you wanted.
Constantly bringing frowns, I'm the balloon that you let go of.
You gave up hope for me, I'm nothing too special.
I tried, but I wasn't good enough.
Will you forget me when I'm gone?
I'm the pattering rain on a midsummer day.
I'm not welcomed, they need someone brighter.
Someone more laudable, someone who will shine.
I'm a house without sturdy foundation.
I was built up on hopes and promises, raised to the top on lies.
I wasn't aware I was going to fall.
No one noticed me for who I was, they didn't notice me at all until I collapsed inside.
I'm a battered teddy bear.
A long life you showed affection, hugs and tears shed with me.
I thought you loved me, but the older you got, the more unsure you became.
We grew apart, and I lay here unaware of my surroundings.
I am a heart, beating for no one.
They say once a heart breaks, it can be stitched but never fixed.
Memories don't go away, I still know what you did.
A bondage so strong, I didn't quite believe you were lying.
I'll think twice before I trust another.
