Hurtful Words

Erik how can you
Say all those hurtful things
About yourself

Don't you see that you are
A worthy human being
Capable of love

That you are and always will be
A beautiful worthy human being
That deserves the best life has to offer

Why do you say such
Untrue hurtful things
About yourself

Christine my angel
Those hurtful things
Are all I've known

You are the first person
To ever call me beautiful
After seeing my face

A face that is far from beautiful
And has only inspired fear
In everyone who has ever seen it

But you Christine must be more
Special than I ever imagined
To see so much in me

And feel pain
When I say bad things about myself
So for you Christine

I will try to see
All the greatness in me
That for now only you can see
