I have enough hate running through this blood,
I cant afford to have another judge,
Yet there you are,
Reminding me I'm subpar,
Nothing,
Less than,
I get it,
A waste of oxygen,
But you're still my friend,
Right?
What a pathetic sight,
Stand up,
Forget these people,
Their standards and demands,
baby,
Free your hands,
You are worthy,
You matter,
The only important factor,
I hope this finally sinks in,
You have one life,
Why spend it suffering,
If they dont appreciate you,
It's their loss,
They're the fool,
As you are worth so much,
A hidden gem,
Maybe a jewel.

I wrap selotape on my heart so I can spend more time focusing on your scars.
Something you've never noticed,
I cant blame you,
You're just like everyone else,
I guess it's just the world we live in,
Everyone out for themself,
Dont pay no mind to the signs,
Blood seeping through my shirt,
You focus on all but my hurt,
It's my curse,
Never see the worst,
Let you trample upon me,
Until I dont feel worthy.
Not of you,
But of me,
No longer able to look in the mirror,
You see,
I was so busy fixing you.
I forgot my time was overdue.
Dont worry,
I'll add you to the other few.
The list,
To those that will never be missed.

I cut deep,
Hoping the pain will fade,
Hoping the new scars will take the focus off of the ones that lie upon my heart,
Only to leave myself branded with you all over my skin,
A map.
A map showing the journey of love, hope and despair,
It's done now,
And so very real,
I wonder if I'll eventually heal,
Only time will tell,
But I'll always remember the way you made me feel.

You see everybody but me,
Why is that,
Biologically programmed to love me yet you don't show any,
Worst part is, you don't have a clue when you do what you do,
One of the only people in this world that can cut me deep with your words,
I know it's pretty absurd,
I get it,
You thought I'd be more,
But why you really mad at me for,
You're the one that painted my path,
Didn't kick me in the *** when I needed it,
You were supposed to gift me with encouragement, love and inspiration,
Instead,
I was given self doubt and scars that ran deep,
Never wanting to come across as weak,
Quite possibly the reason I can't sleep,
The reason I stay quiet and rather not weep,
Maybe I'm crazy to say it,
But you ruined me,
My ability to truly be free,
Because I'm trapped in this mind of mine,
I hope it pains you to know that you hindered my ability to grow,
No,
This isn't a show,
Yes,
I can't blame you for everything ,
But you sure didn't help,
Had to do all of this for myself,
Slowly building my self wealth,
Maybe,
Just maybe it's a good thing,
You know the whole, you believing in everybody except me,
Because when I finally get to where I want to be,
I'll have no one to thank but me.
