“Why do I hate myself?
Because of who I am.
Because of what I’ve done,
To myself.
Because of those nights,
I lie awake, thinking,
About everything that’s wrong,
And everything I’ve done wrong.
Because of the lies I tell,
Every time someone asks me
How I am.
Because of the money,
My parents have wasted on me.
Because of the people I know,
Who find me annoying,
Or boring,
Or weird,
Or quiet, or sad.
Because I’m destroying myself,
Whilst others would do anything
For the life I have.
Because I’m not happy,
When nothing is wrong.
Because I am me.
I am a mess.
I am worthless.
And I hate that.”
