Just a little something I came up with…
They tell how me to dress
How to talk
How to act
They tell me who to be
Who to love
Who to be loved by
They tell me that I'm wrong
That everything about me is a mistake
That I need to start over
To fade into the background
And be just like everyone else
They tell me I deserve to be hurt
Humiliated
Mocked
Torn apart
That I deserve to be destroyed
I tell myself every night that it's okay
The pain will pass
I'll look back better
Stronger
Happier
But when?
