Emotional abuse

Turn out the light in me,
Hurt me with you words.
Destroy what I treasure.
Fuck me where it hurts.

Cut me up, make me small.
Tear my soul apart.
Crush me, sit on me,
Cut right to my heart.

Take away my laughter.
Make me a dead weight.
Make me feel stupid,
Fill my dreams with hate.

Make me feel confused.
Why's everything changed?
Make me an outsider.
Small, stupid, strange.

I thought I was happy.
I thought I was fine.
Now I don't know what's real.
I don't know what's mine.
