I don’t know what’s wrong with me
I don’t know what’s wrong with me

One thing
Takes away character

Just like one person
Can change someone else’s character

He changed my character
He caused me to change

For better or for worse
I’m not exactly sure yet

I’m not how I used to be
And I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing

All I know is that I’m getting better
I’m slowly healing

I’m slowly forgetting his touch
His voice

I’m starting to go through the day
Without feeling his hands on me

His words are out of my mind
Most of them at least

But there’s one that sticks
One word that caused me to change drastically

‘Unlovable’
One simple word

Going back to earlier, when I said one thing could change a character
One word changed my character

I hate that he changed my character
I hate that he changed me

But I’m starting to get better
Even if I still think that I’m unlovable

Even if I still think that no one could live me
Even if I think that I’m worthless

Because he told me I was
He told me that no one would love me due to me being worthless

I’m slowly healing myself
I’m slowly fixing myself

I’m starting to think that I’m loved
Even if I’m only loved by myself

He told me that I was unlovable
He told me that I was worthless

I’m telling myself that I’m loved
I’m telling myself that I have worth

Even if it’s too myself
Even if I’m the only person who sees it
