Sick of you

I'm sick of you telling me I'm not good enough,
And then denying that you said so in the first place.

I'm sick of feeling so tired and beaten,
When I've hardly even fought.

I'm sick of my self-worth depending on a number on a scale,
And I'm sick of starving myself for you.

I'm sick of you telling me I'm not pretty enough for you,
And I'm sick of crying when I look at myself in the mirror.

I'm sick of hating myself without even knowing who I am,
And I'm sick that this is all because of you.

I'm sick of all these thoughts that invade my mind,
Instead of sleeping or resting.

I'm sick of staying up all night,
And staring at the ceiling at 3AM.

I'm sick of not being good enough for you,
And I hate the way you make me question everything.

I know that I'm not perfect,
But I'm sick of you telling me I'm not.

So, I guess that I'm sick of you.
