I'm addicted.
Defined by the words that you've spoken to me.
I know I am much more than your view,
much more than the monster you see.
As much as I try to pull through and break away,
these chains have proven a weight more than I can carry.
I can beat my head against the wall,
be complimented for good,
yet it's YOUR words that stay with me.
It is too late for me to go back and undo what I"ve done,
and I refuse to let those actions keep me from moving forward,
but your words are haunted spirits that chaperone my every move.
"Actions speak louder than words"
That's what they say.
But why is it your words are the daggers pressed against my skin...
when your actions are the ones that left bruises?
Why must I let the way you view me hurt more than your hands on my body??
Actions speak louder than words,
your words convict me of a thousand deaths.
