Care About Me
I care too much
Obsessed with the idea that everyone should be happy I toss my own feelings aside
I care too much
Obsessed with the idea that everyone should be happy I toss my own feelings aside
For so long I fell into step Like a soldier Marching to a drum
I am here I am visible I will be seen Speaking out is scary can get me hurt ostracized abandoned But this is who I am and I will be me I will not be silent No matter how loud I have to be I will let the world know that I EXIST
With your trauma you devoured my love With your narrative you silenced my voice With your self-hate you killed my self-love
I always try to be the person that everyone else wants
Even when that person clashes with who I am
It's astounding what a difference small changes can make reshaping my entire outlook on the rest of life
An endless struggle to love myself and who I am without finding someone else to do it for me
I gazed into the mirror And realized one day That my inside and outside Looked nothing alike
Love It came and went but the love I have for me will never fade
It may never be easy to share who you really are Will it feel good to open up? Or will it only create a new scar?
