    *I just felt like I needed to get some stuff off of my chest so I tried putting it in words. This is what I came up with.*

    I Was Once Told

    I was once told,
    By the only person who had ever mattered,
    I would always be loved
    No matter what I accomplished,
    No matter who I was,
    I would always be loved
    It was a lie

    I was once told,
    By the only person who had never mattered,
    I would always be hated
    No matter what I accomplished,
    No matter who I was,
    I would always be hated
    It was the truth

    I was once told,
    By the only person who had ever cared,
    I could always choose who I was
    No matter what fate said,
    No matter what others said,
    I could always choose who I was
    It was a lie

    I was once told,
    By the only person who had never cared,
    I couldn't always choose who I was
    No matter what fate said,
    No matter what others said,
    I couldn't always choose who I was
    It was the truth

    I was once told,
    By the only person who could understand,
    I was confused
    No matter what logic said,
    No matter what science said,
    I was confused
    It was a lie

    I was once told,
    By the only person who couldn't understand,
    I wasn't confused
    No matter what logic said,
    No matter what science said,
    I wasn't confused
    It was the truth

    Or at least it was the truth
    Before these exchanges took place,
    When everything made sense,
    I was not confused

    Only now,
    After these exchanges have taken place,
    When nothing makes sense,
    Do I become confused
