Before I loved myself
Your validation was my fuel.
Each comment stored away
Building up the layers of confidence or
Dissolving it into nothing

I don't know why I needed your external opinion
Why that
Was what cleared my sight to see my beauty
Why that was what determined my standard
Why you had such power
As if my puppet master
Or creator

Before I loved myself I was weak and unstable
You were my frame
But now I am strong
I heard your comments
And changed them into mine
