i hate myself.


I don’t like myself.

 

I don’t like how I look

How I act 

How I talk

How I walk

I don’t like myself.

 

My friends don’t like me

My teachers don’t like me

I don’t even like myself.

 

I hate how my hair sits far up my head

I hate how I talk so loudly

I hate how I can’t do makeup well

I hate how I make everything into a joke

I hate even inch of me

Inside and out.

 

People I love hate me

People I hate hate me

I just wish I could do things right for once.

 

But it’s okay

Because I’m not okay.

 

But I’ll continue to tell everyone I am

Because telling them will only hurt me more.

 

The smallest things set me off

Anything could send me down a spiral 

So maybe tomorrow I won’t hate myself

But for today

I hate myself

And I want to end myself.

We've all been there..just know that this feelings won't last forever. And don't be so hard on yourself,eh? I wish you the best life has to offer.
