Wall Of Shame

I put the writing on my bedroom wall
It's big enough for all of you to read
Not even one of you will take the time
Because everyone of you knew my need
 
Please, please don't ever abandon me
That's all I had asked of any of you
Then you all turned so horribly mean
So I left just like you expected me to
 
All the others I thought were my friends
One by one I watched you walk away
You pretend you don't know me anymore
All those years, you have nothing to say
 
You treated me like this was all my fault
Though you never knew my body or mind
I begged, I pleaded, I poured out my heart
In the end, in your way, you left me behind
 
It's all there written on my bedroom wall
I have described each part and who I blame
You'll call me crazy because I wrote it
But I chose to call it "your wall of shame"
