The Essence Of Who I Am

I’ve never been selfish 

I never was allowed 

I was told I was horrible 

My family was never proud

How could they 

I was told I was horrible 

When I was very young 

Until the words came out of my own mouth

How can I write the horrible things that were done to me 

When I did them to myself 

How can I love myself If I never learned how 

How can I love someone else if I never wanted to 

How can I be selfish it i was told 

Never do anything for me 

Dont ever think for myself 

So I can still be controlled
