This poem is called What did I do

As i look at my reflection i see the shattered pieces of my former self.
The light has gone from my eyes leaving two dark pools of sadness.
My scars run deep...no one cares to wonder why
The ones who i chose to open up to only added salt into my wounds..
They don't care....Its not them
They don't know my struggle... the world is handed to them on a silver platter...Yet they smile in my face and ignore my tears but when i go silent they ask what's the matter
I realize now that I am alone in this war...I've fought for those who wouldn't lift a finger to defend me.
Ive walked a mile for those who wouldn't move an inch for me.
Am i that bad of a person....Someone tell me..
What did i do to deserve to be hurt so much?
What did i do to deserve being lied to?
Why do have to fight my battles alone?
Where are the ones who said they loved me?
Where are the ones who said they would never leave or hurt me?
I guess they dont exist....I guess i was meant to carry this burden alone...i have a heart with an empty space in it. I guess its too much to ask someone to help me heal it....
What did i do...please tell me what did i do
