Cut me down

You always shut me down

You are always criticizing me

You say you are there for me

But cut me down with your words

I tell you how I feel

And all I get is shot down

And made to feel like my feelings are invalid

You never lift me up but say you do

Your words stick in my head

And they cut me down all the time

They play on repeat in my mind every day

I wish they would just go away

But they stay

The way you say things cut so deep

And stay so long

Why can't you see what you do to me

Why can't you ever make me feel good or proud

Why put me down about everything

You say you are there for me

When are you

Every time I do something i'm proud of

There you are to cut me down again

I have gotten to where I expect it now

I try to just block it out

But I can't every time

Why must you do that to me

You encourage others all the time

But never me

You should want to help make me happy not sad

Not cutting me down every chance you get

But I will still keep going regardless.

The way you say things cut so deep

And stay so long

Why can't you see what you do to me

Why can't you ever make me feel good or proud

Why put me down about everything

But I will still keep going regardless
