Broken Down

Location

My world broke me down.

You're 

Fat

Ugly

Stupid

Bitch

Slut

Worthless

A waste of space

A waste of time

Fucked Up

Not worth it

 

NO!

That's what they want me to see

It's all that I saw

I wasn't good enough until I changed

 

I needed

To dress for him

To succeed in life for them 

Fix their problems 

Hide what I needed

Forget Myself

Follow Their EVERY REQUEST

No choice

 

NO!

I am worth more than shit

Men aren't in charge of me

I am

 

You know what

I'm flawless

I'm thick

NOT fat

I'm smart

I work hard

 

I deserve someone to love me unconditionally

I deserve happiness

I deserve to get the exact same as my male counter part

 

If I work my ass of for it

I should get the exact same thing he got

 

The world broke me down

But you know what built me up?

 

I did. 

Remember that.
