I'm Proud of You
Four simple words
Yet each leaves a different burn
A scar
It’s bizarre
That I’m proud of you can sting
Postpone your thinking
Maybe it’s because it’s rare for me to hear it
Because it’s something myself can’t even admit
When someone hears enough times that you’re a disappointment
It eventually causes them to quit
Quit believing when someone finally says
I’m proud of you
Think everyones lying even your best friend
Like there is no way it could be true
I’ve heard it from three people before
One being the best teacher I ever had
That woman deserves an award
The second being my current boyfriend
He’s always there even when I’m sad
The last being my best friend
I didn’t believe her but I had to pretend
Only once did I explain what
I’m proud of you meant to me
It’s weird to write it down
It's weird to get it out
I never thought I’d share what it means to me
When someone says I’m proud
