You never hear me talk back, in my mind...
"You are stupid."
-You don't know me. What you see is your perception of me. You will never comprehend the height of my dreams, nor the depths of my thoughts and feelings. What is stupid is what I tolerate, what I sacrifice, for you.
"You are a disgrace."
-You dishonor me each time you hit me. The shame that I bear is the result of the abuse you inflict on my body, mind, and soul. It festers in me, like a wound that would not heal. Each time you hurt me, my heart constricts until there is no feeling left in me anymore. I am numb, so you couldn't hurt me any more than you already have.
"You need me to protect you."
-The protection I need is from you. What I need is to stop giving you an imitation of myself, to start living my life, the way I want to, the way I'm supposed to.
"No one will ever want or love you."
-All I need is to be able to heal and love myself again.
"Why do you make it so hard for me to love you?"
-I want you to hate me enough to let me out of this hell. A life in a gilded cage is no life to live. Let me follow my dream, make my own mistakes, or relish my own success. Don't live your life through me.
