Yesterday, a person that I love
Surprised me in bad ways
Yesterday, this same person I love
Changed the way I look at him
Yesterday, a person I used to love
Hurt me in ways I never knew were possible
The truth is, I am not stranger to criticism
But what once was a ray of light is now
a bean of pessimism
I now know how the people around me view me
I now know the perspectives of those who
I used to love
And Maybe I still do
I now know that a brother by blood
Doesn\'t look at you any different than
A complete stranger
I now know that a person can look at you
And contradict themselves a million different ways
They can say nothing is wrong with you
And then handwrite you a list of all the things
you should change about yourself
I now know that a single person you trusted
For absolutely no reason at all but kinship
Can make you doubt yourself in every way possible
They can make you so uncomfortable with your self
That you can\'t eat or speak
Without depressing thoughts
And in time, they can make you doubt love and doubt life
