Respect yourself
My friends, they feel sorry for me,
They say I’m with the one who makes me weak.
He takes away my little strength,
And let’s me fall time and time again.
But I choose to be with him,
even though he is abusive.
It’s like I’m trapped in myself,
and can’t learn to have my own skin.
I know it’s breaking me down,
I constantly feel like I am going to drown.
But I know I will gain myself,
When I learn to respect myself.
