I feel like I cannot
be myself around you anymore.
I feel like you’re judging me
for my imperfections.
My words are like eggshells;
I’m so careful not to
say something that would upset you.
I cannot be open with you.
I cannot bare my soul
to someone I used to trust
to not criticize me.
Now all I hear from your lips
are cutting remarks
that make me wish
I was invisible to you.
I wish I never knew you.
ohhh, at present, I can
ohhh, at present, I can relate...
