I hate myself

by angelofolympus

I hate myself

I hate my face, my body, my everything

Im filled with so much self-hate that I dont know what to do

I look at pictures of models, Then i look back at myself and I no longer like what I see

I put makeup on to fix my problems

But makeup can't fix stretch marks,braces or acne

 I hate myself

I cant sleep or eat

Im filled with so much negativity until negativity became me

People say you can't fix your problems just by staring at your phone screen

we are capable of so much more

The answer comes from deep with in

We dont need makeup to be beautiful

So for the first time, Im going to let myself breathe

Today, I choose me
