They tell me that I have self worth
but boy how little they know
It's been chipped and stripped away from me
since about middle school or so.
They would batter me with words
or teach me my worth with actions
and each time I'd fight to be strong again
just to watch their shocked reactions.
"How are you so strong?" they'd ask,
and I'd just shrug and smile
but over time it's become much harder
and overcoming takes quite a while.
Now after being friends so long
and falling in love for a month or two
he's shattered my self worth like all others
and I think I have run out of glue.
I can't put the pieces together alone
and he no longer wants me in his life again
he neither wants me friend nor lover
and told me that I was his biggest sin.
I guess that's all I am to everyone-
a stain on an otherwise perfect record
and to him I must be no different,
an immoral demon he apparently can't afford.
His friends all said I was using him-
oh how ironic that turned out to be.
He let me fall in love with him
before telling me he can't afford me.
So this is why my self worth is gone-
it's been told to me far too often
that all I do is ruin people's lives
so I guess I must really be that rotten.
