Leo's POV
I was never good enough for them. They think it's easy. Ever sense I was nine I have been living a living hell. It sucks knowing that I was so useless that I couldn't even knock down my own father. A leader must be strong,fearless, and have no bounds. But I am not fearless. I have one fear. That I will loose everything I held dear. That I won't be good enough. It doesn't help that everyday of my life I get chained to a wall. Master started this ever sense I was twelve. Once down from the shackles my skin is torn and raw. Scars are hidden deep within. I'm slowly breaking. And now it's time for another brutal training. "Leonardo why are you late?" Master asked venomously. "I-I'm sorry master I had to use the bathroom." I said. That was true I was cleaning off the wounds HE gave me. "Fine then but this mustn't happen again for you're tardiness you will do fifty flips and 100 katas." He said. "Yes master." I said bowing. But he didn't leave without giving me a beat down. He slapped me and whipped me. I was used to the pain. Funny how once you have been hurt for awhile you can't feel it anymore. Then he left. I was stuck doing my punishment. Once done I was beat. I wanted to go to bed. But Raph had different plans. "Why are you always training?!?" He asked. "I'm training to protect you." I said calmly. "We never see you anymore." He said. "I know and I'm sorry." I said. "Bull crap what's the real reason??!?!" He asked. "There's nothing more to talks about." I said. "Fine shutdown again like you always do we don't need ya!!" He screamed. I ran to my "room" and locked it. I slid down the wall and cried. The walls you could hear through so master could hear me. "Stop crying worthless." He screamed.
Will this he'll ever end.
Song: because of you
Artist: Kelly clarkson
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you
