Because Unworthiness Embodies Me

Because unworthiness embodies me,

I'll share the blame for us.

I'll pen the narrative

For the story we’ll spin

Like angels for your sin.

Because unworthiness embodies me,

I’ll achingly look past your abuse.

I'll painstakingly build your excuse

With the escape routes I’ve created

Just to say, “baby, we’ve made it.”

Because unworthiness embodies me,

I’ll constantly allow it

Yet silently cry about it

Then let the pattern repeat

With my needs in the back seat.

Because unworthiness embodies me,

I'll make the minimum momentous

and the bread crumbs tremendous

So they can be convinced

that you've been good since.

Because unworthiness embodies you,

You'll keep on encouraging it.

You’ll tell me why I’m deserving it.

You–The creator of this deception,

because you are utterly my flawed perception–

You are unworthy.
