somehow, you got into my brain when you called me perfect, but I couldn’t believe it all the beautiful things you saw were never there; for I was filled with sadness and pain I was worthless. I no longer thought I meant something. everyone told me I couldn’t. and one day, that was all I believed, even when you told me I could. I was a failure. I couldn’t believe when you said I was special. I told you not to. but, you kept trying even though I was a mess. run away. I can’t believe you didn’t the day you first met me (a year later, I read it backward)
