Your Criticism
Every single day you criticize me
"why does you hair look this way"
"why are you wearing that"
"you could've done better than that"
those are the words you say to me on repeat, you break my spirit everyday
why am i not enough
can i not venture out and see what i like?
can i not be a normal teenage girl
why does everything i do have to be an issue to you
why am i not enough
is it because you wish you could see yourself the way i see me?
is it because i have the confidence to not put myself in a box?
why am i not enough for you?
i now feel less than i did before because of you now i only question you
i wish you would stop
your words engraved inside of my brain, burning through my veins
but i won't change
i know who i am and i like it
i don't deserve your criticism.
