No One Ever Tells You


No one ever tells you how much it hurts

To hate yourself.

No one ever tells you how addictive it is

To hate yourself.

No one ever tells you how time consuming it is

To hate yourself.

No one ever tells you how fatal it is

To hate yourself.

I wish I had someone to tell me not

To hate myself.
