Not so Simple

"It doesn't exist" 

"It wouldn't happen to you"

"Just walk away from it"

"Ignore it"

They don't understand

It's not that simple

Because when they have told you 

countless of times 

that you're worthless

Because when they have blamed you 

endlessly for being you 

and not following "the flow" 

Because when they have exploited you 

and humilated you 

to a degree where you just can't bother to get out of bed in the mornings

You can't let it go

No matter how many times others tell you different

Because once they've told you enough times 

That you're worthless

Different

And that no one would care if you didn't wake up again 

Then you start to believe it
