Why (18, Fenruary 2015)
I was becoming a better me;
That I liked,
That I respected;
That I wanted to love.
Then you came along,
And hated the me that I was—
Striving to be.
You forced me into;
Made me the me I am.
Thinking you made me better,
Thinking I could benefit from change...
I lost myself,
My direction,
To keep you thinking,
That I was perfect for you.
Because you'll always be the same…
You're not perfect,
But you can justify your flaws…

Very relatable. Some people do a great deal of harm through good intentions.
