I'm tired of the people I love
being hurt.
I'm tired of watching them suffer
and cry.
I look at them
and I see perfection,
I see all I ever need in life.

But when they look
at themselves
all they see is the wrong,
the bad,
the unwanted.
And they can't understand
how I can love them.

Do you know how much that hurts?
To listen to your loved ones
ask you
how you can love them?
That realization that they
really think that lowly of themselves,
that they really consider themselves that horrible?

I look at them
and I see every single thing.
I see the good,
         the wonderful,
         the perfect--
       and yes--
I also see the bad,
                 the faults,
                 the mistakes.
                       But know what--?
Those imperfections
just make me love them more.
And they should love themselves for it.
They would love themselves for it.

But you...?
You come along
and taunt, tease, torture these people that I love.
You make them feel insignificant, trivial, and worthless
with cruel words and glances.
You spread lies and I try
to tell them otherwise,
I try to make right what you do wrong,
but I fight in vain
because the poison
of your actions (or lack of)
is killing them.
And I--
I can't fix them.
Because they themselves
do not consider themselves
worth saving.
