"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Demeaning-Causing someone to lose their dignity and respect to others.

As the sun slowly fades away, I wipe away the tears of disbelief. I can see the blood gushing from deep within. Easing the pain with every cut. Deeper than the last. All I can think of is what they said to me. The one that really sticks with me is nothing. Nothing-A pronoun denoting the absence of anything. In nontechnical uses, nothing denotes things lacking importance,interest,value,relevance and significance. Apparently I lack of importance. I just think to myself Do they really love me? Am I really of importance?What am I doing here? But as I think of these questions all they have to say is Ignore them. It's not true. My favorite one is We love you. It's yet so hard to believe because they can't show it. Mainly because they're the ones breaking me down. As i live from day to day, I look back at the past and remember when everything was perfect, and since I'm not who they want to be I wonder what it would take for me to be what I'm supposed to be. The biggest lie there is to tell I love you too.
