What is that supposed to mean?
You say I don't see the big picture
You say I don't know my worth,
I don't know my value better than you
I don't know what's ahead
or how I'll be on top if I leave it all to you
You say I could do so much better
If I leave it all to you
But you don't even know me
I'm the one that fought my battles in the dark
-no one came to save me
God had to send his angels
-no one else could guard me
You never even saw my scars
-I had to get through it
Tell me where were you?
Where were you?
You want to tell me what I don't know
When you are the one who was supposed to teach me
Infantilized and enmeshed
You left me to the wolves
It's too late to ask me to put my
trust in you
Clearly it's all up to me
and it always has been
