You told me not to feel
So I didn't
You told me to behave
So I did
But where has that gotten me?

You told me to use my manners
So I did
You told me that this is how it is supposed to be
So I believed you
But where has that brought me to?

You told me everything I know
That has shaped me
You made me who I am
That is what I am today
But now I know

I know that everything that you have told me is wrong
I know that there is nothing more wrong than what I used to be
When did I become the emotional punching bag?
Why didn't I realize that you have placed the scares on my heart?
It was you and your minions that made me this way

I hope that you're happy of who I am today.
Everything you did to help me hurt me
Everything you did to hurt me helped me
That helped me to become a stronger person
so that my heart doesn't get broken
