They Told Me

They told me I was loved
They told me I was safe
They told me I was the shit
But why don't I feel safe
In my own body
In my own thoughts
In my own my mind
I told myself to be alone
I told myself I wasn't shit
I told myself I was shit
but I never told myself that I was the shit
But
What mattered in the end
Wasn't what they told me
It was what I told myself
