I constantly need to check myself
Make sure I'm not turning in to him
I need to be more self aware
Then he'll ever be

I never want to make anyone feel
Anything close to the way he did to me
I've grown up seeing that example, it fear it will impact me. The tendency towards mental illness is genetic, and it's already started to latch on to me. I refuse to let take me as it did him. I must be different. I will not be him.
