I Am An Asshole

What would 8 year old you say
If they saw you as you're today
Like, who the fuck thought of this?
8 year olds aren't hard to manipulate

But honestly I get it
If no one cares, maybe past you will
A time when it wasn't hard to believe
A part of you, you chose to leave

Who do you see
When you look in the mirror
Do you say I was an asshole
Last time I talked to my mother

And what do you keep
When fleeing a world that has crumbled
The journal entries have captured
The fragments of time you left behind for the better

There's a long way that I've come
There's this person I've become
Vandalized my mind
So it feels like mine
But I wonder

If I am an asshole
To 8 year old me
Way out of control
Self endangering

Emotionally estranged
No one would take the blame
So now I'm the asshole
Cause I kept my self-esteem
