The Most Hurtful Thing
There were a few, but
Well the earliest one was when I was in school
I was told multiple times
As if it was a bad thing, that I was fat.
And that was something I was told since I was really young.
And that was used against me in a really negative way,
And I was told I was ugly
That I looked like I was an old woman
That I would only get uglier
That I was, yeah, all those things
The most hurtful thing
Someone has ever said to me was
I don't want you. I don't want you
And my mom said to me
I don't know what's wrong with me
That I make children like this
That I wasn't smart
Don't quit your day job
I think the most hurtful thing
That somebody's ever said to me
Is probably just growing up
In a real evangelical situation
Where I was told I would spend an eternity
In hell if I didn't do some mysterious magical thing
It was very, it was quite confusing at the time
And, you know, it's still in there
My father once said to me
I think the most hurtful thing anyone has ever said to me is that I am insane
Can you believe that?
