I've lived with enough criticism to recognise
It's toxic traits seeping into someone
Before the sentence is even out
Glass half empty
Life is all bad kind of approach
I think I know enough of me to
Not fall for that cycle again
I dont know if love will ever be enough
To cover up stains of disdain left by words
That remind of a past I wished I hadn't lived
You don't have that kind of authority anymore
No human does
To make me a victim of carefully crafted
Insults wrapped in compliments
And then have the audacity to demand a thankyou
The walls were always high
The door I left a little open
To try and make this work
I think my self respect won't allow you anywhere near it
Not again. Not ever
You don't get to have that power anymore
