People have the capability of changing you.
Of reinventing who you are, thought you were or wished to be.
A noble, caring person can shift to the most obscured path because of someone else. He can isolate you, even from yourself, make you create frontiers. Separate the real you from the version you've created for protection. They help build your demons and perfect your fears.
She takes your doubts and transforms them into shame.
A person can grab your hopes and smear it all over the place, unknowing that your heart shatters along the way.
Perhaps they have a hint that you are suffering but they keep tearing you down anyway. You see, many times you let that happen.
You let them beat you to exhaustion. You remain still. It's like someone is beating you up hit after hit, nonstop, yet you're untied.
You could fight back and at least attempt to defend yourself but
instead you let them punish you. You let the he. And her. And they.
Destroy the you. That YOU that you've worked so hard to come to grasps to, I simply see vanishing away, because of them.
