You turned me against myself

You can push me down,
You can even laugh at me as if I were a clown.
 
You can yell at me,
You can even use your words to sting me like a bee.
 
You can call me every name that comes to mind,
You can even walk by me as if you were blind.
 
You can spread rumors and make up lies,
You can even view me as a book and judge my cover with your eyes.  
 
It's as if your an artist and the words like paint brushes have painted a picture of me that I don't reconize,
I look in the mirror and my reflection has been customised.
 
I don't know why I gave you so much power,
You are no longer the reason that I cower.
 
Somehow the worthlessness that you made me feel has been engrained into my heart,
It is all that I can feel and I'm slowly falling apart.
 
I left you along with all your critisizum in the past,
The brief moment of peace didn't last.
 
It's as if you flipped a switch in my brain,
It's different now I am the abuser of myself and scars by my own hands are all I see to gain.  
 
No matter what you put me through,
You can never hate me more than I do.  
 
You can do what you wish,
Nothing will hurt more than this.
