I'm tired of defending myself.

You said that weekend,
I'm so self-centered.
After years of being used,
I'm the villain in the end.

Why call me greedy?
When there's nothing left in me.
I'm apathetic?
That sounds so pathetic.

If only you knew what this heart went through.
How it was stabbed by your words,
Stayed silent while it hurts.

They called me names,
Got toyed in some sort of games.
Now I acted the character they made,
Just to justify their hate.

Well maybe you're right,
But does it mean I was wrong?
I know I'm brave enough to fight,
My realization takes so long.

If you only have my ear,
And a heart filled with tear.
You're voice will be loud and clear,
The truth will speak for itself, you made me live in fear.

If I was so toxic,
What are you then?
You build me like this,
And ask how, why, and when?
