Oh, but Therapy

I've never been good enough for you 
This one truth I always knew 
The way you've always treated me 
It's so clear to see 
I never asked to be here 
I never tried to be an inconvenience for you
People always say that I should give you a break, just be quiet 
Because you gave me life 
But what kind of life is that 
When you constantly choose my abusers over me?
You knew to do better, but chose to do worse 
I'm still picking up the pieces 
Broken glass strewn across the floor...
I've never been good enough for you 
Nothing was ever good enough 
You never saw any value in me 
Because you hated my father 
You took it all out on me 
When you saw me, you just saw him 
It was all insanity 
Trying to make you happy 
Trying to seek your approval 
Trying to make you love me 
My existence has always been a problem for you 
I've never been who you wanted me to be 
Regret me
I know you regret me 
When I behaved
When I rebelled 
I'll never be good enough for you 
Oh, but therapy!
Therapy has taught me 
that I don't need your approval 
that I am good enough 
that I am worthy 
Valuable 
that I am lovable 
that even though you chose not to act 
in my best interest 
I deserved better 
Oh, but therapy 
is teaching me to heal myself 
Emotional wealth 
Reparenting myself is rough 
but I can do hard things 
I can do tough stuff 
I don't have to stay stuck 
in quicksand 
Oh, but therapy 
has shown me 
that I'm more than good enough for me
