What will you see?

Here you are staring right at me
Telling me all the things I can never be
You tel me that I'm a waste of skin
You show me all the things that should have been

I let your harsh words take their toll
I let your words bury me deeper and deeper inside this hole
You bend and bend just to watch me break
You tell me I'll never have what it takes

You crush my hopes, destroy my dreams
You try and rip me apart at the seams
You tell me that my best isn't good enough
You tell me my heart isn't tough enough

You push me over the edge and laugh as I fall
You try to make me think no one cares about me at all
I don't know why I let you get in my head
I don't know why I let you hurt me with all the cruel things that you've said

You words suffocate me in my world of sorrow
Your words make me want to give up on tomorrow
You look me in the eyes and tell me I'm lower than dirt
Because your you and don't care who you hurt

You make me sick with your smile, that crooked smirk
Because you know your words have done the work
As I look at you and you look right back at me
I stare into the mirror at my own worst enemy
