Through My Eyes
by pUnK_pRinC3sS and Warrior_Prophet
No one said you had to love me
No one said you had to hurt me either
You shouldn't have to make my heart bleed
You should've taught me to be a survivor
You beat me daily
Call me names
And I know you are right
I will always be, me
There's no one that I can reach for
There's no one that I can tell
I have broken wings for ever more
Low self esteem is my living hell
I hate that you are my dad
I loathe that I am part of you
I fear I will become bad like you
I've grown self-hatred, because of you!
Through years of abuse I have changed
I punch you, knock you to the floor
My son watches me estranged
And the cycle repeats once more
Theme = Abuse, Low Self Esteem and Self Hatred
