call me kind

If you knew all my crazy
I know you would hate me
I know I shouldn't be the way that I am
I know the way you see me
And I know that I am bleeding
Because I never tended to the wounds
They gave me
Why must I betray me
We all act out consciously
Do things we know will
Hurt the one
We're supposed to be helping
Cause I'm the one
Who saved me
But I spend all my time
Tossing bricks at
The very last hopes I have
So when someone
Calls me kind
I laugh
When my friends say I'm pretty
I assume they're just being silly
And then I internally lash out
Cause it must be so annoying
That compliments go straight through me
The truth is I feel nothing
Cause all my beliefs
Of my ugliness
They always win
There's a choice I'm not making
There's been times
I've been close to changing
And that makes it worse
Cause I get a taste of
What it's like to feel loving
I know it's me who steals it
Believe me I never shy
On blaming
This vessel is just
Full of me hating me
Cause if you knew
You'd hate me too
Only held on to what's cruel
And I've multiplied it
I'm the one
I know best
So I know
How to make me depressed
And I'm nice to you
While I stamp on
The last light I have
So when you
Call me kind
I laugh
