Murder

I’ve been abusing myself
I say I don’t deserve anymore than this
and that’s what I’ve learned to believe
there’s nothing more to me.

All that I am, is all that I hate
and everything I used to love has disappeared
it’s difficult to laugh and to smile
when I think happiness is fake.

[I murder myself with words
I believe in the lies.
Why do I trust only what hurts?
why can’t I realize
that love isn’t pain?]

I give in to the voices in my head
I’ve let them take over what I feel for myself
And soon they’re all that I hear,
and I depend on them to be there.

I realize it’s all my fault
I realize I’ve fallen this far down,
because I’ve pushed myself in this hole
and ate away at my own soul.

[I murder myself with words,
I believe in the lies.
Why do I only trust what hurts?
Why can’t I realize
that love isn’t pain?]
I was watching Oprah with Mindy McCready on it. She was talking about how she was abused by her boyfriend and how she wasn't that bad before she got with him, but they explained to her that nobody can get into a relationship like that unless there is already fertile ground in you. She admitted she hates herself and that she loved him more than herself. It made me realize that women all over the world murder themselves a little at a time with words and we set ourselves up for future failures by not loving ourselves.

one learns to love,
sometimes it's in a negative fashion.

sometimes one must find someone, who will love back,
in a a new way,
someone that ,
loves you the same way you love them.
raw emotion, you have, stated it well.
