Forgive me, I'm broken, so my words will definitely cut you.

Forgive me, I'm bitter, so my thoughts might provoke you.

I'm still just a shell of who I hope to be. I don't meet your high expectations. Forgive me.

Forgive me, I've become numb, so your harsh, barbed, judgemental words don't infiltrate my being.

Forgive me, I'm unconventional, I'm weird, I'm unattractive so I don't get the love I deserve.

Never letting my guard down and keeping my composure tires me and this depresses me even more . Forgive me.

Forgive me, I'm a pathological liar who over-indulges on mediocrity, fear and feelings.

Forgive me because I'm unforgiving, I remember those who wronged me.

Please forgive me, because I'll never be able to forgive you for turning me into the monster that I am.
