I could............... But I won't

by Beth - Scorpio

I could tell you
that the sun shines
after every storm
I could tell you 
that being abused or molested
is no excuse for
drowning the pain and 
shooting shit up your arm
I could tell you
that giving your body 
to the first walking heartbeat
that smiles at you
won't make up for 
Daddy not loving you
I could tell you
that you can't change
the past
but you can change 
your future
I could tell you
that embracing your pain
and holding onto it
in stubborn self-pity
Is the worst thing you can do
I could slap your face
Tell you to grow up
But all that would achieve
Is to prove to you
how big a hypocrite
I will have become.....
