I've always tried to make people think,
I've always wanted people to think that I could do anything,
To believe in me when I couldn't,
But all they did was mock me,
Make me insecure,
Make me feel like I was never good enough
And that I'd never be,
That hurt me.

Because I loved all those people who criticized me.
Everytime they said something negative,
I'd take it or walk away and cry,
Because I thought I needed them,
I thought that I would be nothing with them,
But they should feel like they're nothing without me.

But I know I'm nothing special.
