I wished I could've seen myself through his eyes...
Because he saw me as a beautiful human, that deserves the world and more.
But I see myself as an ugly thing that deserves nothing but the worst...
All I've ever heard from my older brother, and all that my dad has shown me over and over again...
Is that I'm not good enough, not enough...
The girls at school made fun of me.. saying I'm not worth anything.
The voices of my demons echo and amplify my pain tenfold...
But he.. with his smile and kind words, he healed the pain.
And when he saw me being ruthlessly cruel to myself,
He'd say that I'm worth it.. that I AM enough...
That he'll always be there; that he'd protect me from all those that dare hurt me. That I was his everything.
He gave me the courage and the strength me to fight back...
To stand up to my demons, and fight for me on my own...
Because I wanted to be his everything, just like he was mine.
