Past

Pathetic, ugly, disgusting
Just a few things people say
Everyone tells you to be strong
To ignore them
But they have no idea how hard that is,
Do they?

Your self esteem keeps getting lower and lower
It just drops with every insult, every word
Soon it has been damaged so much
That when you look at yourself in the mirror
All you can think of is those horrible comments
Each day the more you believe them

Your confidence, is replaced by insecurity
Insecurity about who you are and what you do,
You start to insult yourself about everything
And soon enough, you become your own worst enemy.

Still, your tormentors are relentless
Not noticing or caring about how broken, damaged you are
You are shattered into millions of tiny little pieces,
We are not like Humpdy dumpdy
We can't always be put back together again
Pieces of us get lost, never to be seen again

Some parts are too damaged to ever become one, like before.
We try to forgive and forget
But those memories haunt us
As hard as we try to piece ourselves back together again
In our hearts we know it can't be done

Now those experiences remain in our minds
They become a part of us
A part that we can't ever get rid of
Ever erase
Because what happens in the past
Can't ever be changed
