Although I never thought I would use that word to describe you.
You played me like a pawn,
And I willingly went along,
All the while hoping you would get better.

You say that you do everything for others,
But you only think about yourself.
Well aren't you just the martyr now?
I let you trample all over my back,
I hope I can wash your footprints off,
Before they stain me red.

I drank from your gauntlet
The malignancies infect me now
It could have been lethal
But I will not let it invade my blood stream.

If I could string together a few words to describe a hypocrite,
They would choke you out.
If I told you all of them, I would run out of breath.
So for now, I'll leave you with two:

It goes something like
"*******."
My nervous system's oxytocin production has come to a holt
So please darling, value what I had given you
As that was the **last dose of my love this world will ever see
Sorry. It's really short.
Okay class let's settle down
We need to come to order
We are here to learn to love ourselves
Before we can love another

I know a lot of you hate your lives
And struggle with that fact
I'm sure each and everyone of you
Will benefit from this class

Now if you'll hold in front of you
This mirror just like me
So many of you in this class
Have never liked what the mirror sees

But you need to look deeper into it
And repeat the words I say
My outside it is just a shell
Deep within is where my beauty lays

The mirror sees there is not a one
That is as unique as you
God made you the way you are
You need to come into that truth

So listen very closely now
To these words I have to say
There's a beauty that shines within you
So put that beauty on display

The next time you hear your worthless
From the ones with whom you've grown
The ones that are the first to tell you that
Have issues all their own

Let's all take our mirrors now
And put them on the shelf
Now lift your hands up to the sky
And all shout, I am something else!

Hopefully I'll see you all next fall
In the class we're starting new
How I Learned To Love Myself
And So Can You 102
