For years I was unable to say no
I thought it several times
Yet it would slip between my lips
All the times I was afraid..
Afraid that they would leave
They always do
People are needy creatures
Sex and desire..
Lust and obsession
It's made us monsters
Every time I wasn't able to say no
I permitted them to use me
I'm reminded each day
I say no a little more each time
And I still flinch at the touch
Afraid of what's to come
My head so filled with it
Filled with the past
Filled with the pain
Is there something wrong with me?
Better me than someone else...
But im not strong
I can't forget and move on
I'm stuck running in circles
Tripping over the past
Hating what they did
Hating who I am
This isn't who I wanted to be
That was never what I wanted
You can laugh and say who does
But I was so young
And so dumb
I was reckless
