I use to be in a place of darkness 

Confidence was the farthest

Depression felt like an involuntary act 

Some insecurities came from friends stabbing me in the back

Sometimes all you want is a "you look good today" comment

When being put down seemed like others assignment

No light at the end of the tunnel

Was like going round n' round in a funnel

I found myself but it took time 

To completely save my mind 

You think just because you said it once it hasn't been repeating in my head

It all comes back in a flash when I go to bed

To me you don't have to be a loner to be bullied everyday

People and teachers say take it day by day

But its not someone coming up to you and saying the worst

It's when you get in an argument with someone you love that hurts

Hopefully I can recover

In the meantime I'll duck for cover

In the hall you walk past without a glance

Never giving the smart shy girl a chance

She bows her head as you pass

Never to be truly known within her class

She wears clothes without brands

Trying to fit in is a sham

Beauty is only recognized outside of school

Because too many curves aren't cool 

Education becomes her focus

Seeing that's the only time she can get noticed 

But don't worry about the unknown girl

Her worth is far more than a pearl

She will excel without opinions 

Because she sees no competition

Love is more than a four letter word

Something to be felt, given, and heard

I loved so deep I forgot about me

Others happy about my success asking for the tea

Sitting back thinking, but what about me

He left and there's no air to breathe

So much for a blessin

God was this supposed to be a lesson 

I look back and reminisce 

Too bad she got to feel your kiss

Love is not hate but I hated you for your behavior

The only one there for me was my savior

I can't ask you to be something your parents couldn't create

Little naive me to think I could change your fate

You may turn into a man one day

But I can't stay for a "may"

Hopefully you grow into a man 

Because even though I'm hurt, I know you can

I pray for your success and happiness

Because neither of us deserves less

I'm sorry I couldn't understand how broken we were

Maybe if I wasn't so caught up in my own blur

If I loved myself enough we would have parted ways sooner

I never wanted to be the ruiner
