Be Aware (verbal abuse)
I have always been ashamed of the way I look
I hated being watched and judged like a book
Exposing myself made me feel bare
Scarred by my mama's words, drowning me with fear
It felt like I was showing you my broken soul
That was covered with thorns and holes
Standing in front of you, showing you all of me
Hoping that when you cast your eyes you would like what you see
I was showing you the vulnerability in my eyes
Letting you know that I really tried not to believe all mothers lies
But her words kept playing over and over in my mind
'You're ugly, you wouldn't be loved, your body is a disgusting sight' those words was always on rewind
So I stand in front of you hoping you won't judge
Hoping that my internal scars are not to much
I'm letting you know that you need some self care
You need to stop living in fear
Stop letting your mom get inside your head
Stand up for yourself instead
All you need to know is that you don't need to change
You shouldn't be trapped by these chains
Your heart is filled with gold
That's the one thing that shouldn't be sold
