You'll never know how much you hurt me; but then again
would you care
I opened my heart and let you in; that's something I
never before dared
You made me think I was someone special
a person complete and whole
Not at all how I view myself; which is empty, lonely,
a darkened sadened soul
But now that hope has fadded: to my heart
the saddness seeps back in
An unyeild sense of depressed realization of being
the one who will never win
I know what a wise man would say; find worth
inside yourself
Depend on no ones approval; for you alone have that power
It lies with no one else
And though I have to admit; those words for most
are completely true
The years of self doubt I've suffered; make believing the worst
Is all I can seem to do
Maybe I'm over reacting; perhaps the slights
that I feel
Are all in my mind; and have no teeth, but the
bite to me seems real.
