Victim Mentality
victim mentality
what captured me
i can't just shake free
from this that has hold
it's something
that i've become addicted to
learned to love
like a cutter loves a blade
little by little i don't know it
i slice away parts of me
hidden and unseen
this victim mentality
it helped me once
now to feel noticed
to simply feel loved
like I'm not alone
with simple happiness
but when things are cloudy
when things aren't right
longing to be needed
longing to hear the sorrow
to hear the pity and good praise
trading true praise, and keeping rags
this victim mentality
won't let go of me
i'm afraid to let go of it
i know that in some ways
things are ok...
and I don't need to fish
for the love and hope there
but this victim mentality
just won't realease me
sometimes I wonder
If I'll ever be free
from my victim mentality
