I am a liar and a sneak.
I hide my mistakes. I tell others I am doing fine.
In reality, I am falling apart.
I do anything I can to feel useful.
I fool others into allowing me to help them.
I hid people away so others think well of me.
I am a liar and a sneak.
I am anxious, useless, and worthless.
And I always wonder
How anyone could love
A monster such as me.
I am a killer and a coward.
I've killed children in the name of justice,
Killed innocents in the name of freedom.
I face dangerous enemies with courage,
But fear the confrontation of friends.
I avoid the truth and ignore my problems.
I am a killer and a coward.
I am brash and bitter, yet spineless.
And I always wonder
How anyone could love
A monster such as me.
Someone does love me.
Someone does love me,
A monster brave and determined,
Strong, yet funny and kind.
She knows I have done wrong.
She knows that I lie and hide.
But she also knows that I am trying
To do better.
What a feeling it is,
To know that she loves
A monster such as me.
Someone does love me.
Someone does love me,
A monster smart and passionate,
Spontaneous and funny and kind.
She knows I have killed before.
She knows that I hide from my troubles.
But she also knows that I am trying
To do better.
What a feeling it is,
To know that she loves
A monster such as me.
She tells me I am smart and kind.
She tells me I am beautiful.
She says I am an impressive person
Without even having to try.
Things that I've hated about myself
Are the things that endear me to her.
She wants to help me become better.
She wants to help me be strong.
She wants me to know
Just how she can love
A monster such as me.
She tells me I am strong and brave.
She tells me I am beautiful.
She says I am an admirable person
Without even having to try.
Things that I feel make me unlikeable
Are the things that endear me to her.
She wants to help me become better.
She wants to help me be strong.
She wants me to know
Just how she can love
A monster such as me.
There are times when I cannot believe her,
Times when I can't help but doubt.
But then I remember.
She not only loves me despite my flaws,
She is willing to help me work through them.
Without her, I would be going nowhere.
She taught me how to love myself,
And she taught me to face my fears.
Without her, I'd always wonder
How anyone could love
A monster such as me.
There are times when I cannot believe her,
Times when I can't help but doubt.
But then I remember.
She not only loves me despite my flaws,
She is willing to help me work through them.
Without her, I would be going nowhere.
She taught me how to be gentle,
And she taught me to face my fears.
Without her, I'd always wonder
How anyone could love
A monster such as me.
Some days, it is easier.
Some days, it is hard.
Some days, it feels impossible
To overcome the despair.
But together, we will do it.
Together, we will fight.
Together, we will fight
To become the best we can be.
And together
We will always love
The monsters such as us.
