The Doe's Beginning by Kaas Scriven
The way I speak in rhythm
I try as if I’m not dumb
But the only stupid thing I have done
Was apologize.
You hurt me
Yet I passed the apology
Lied to me
I stood honestly
The lies were so high
That my standards
Beliefs
Morals
Dropped to the floor
Just like my clothes.
I can say I loved you
But I couldn’t even love myself
Dagger left on the counter shelf
Although I’ve gained wealth
It doesn’t matter
Cause when I was with you
I lost my true self.
You can judge me cause I can now wear dresses
I act different
“I act selfish”
You can say anything
But no matter what
I can now say
I love myself
I love my friends
I love my family
