I Hate Myself
I try not to cry,
Try to make my eyes dry.
I keep my mouth shut,
So I don’t ask now what.
I hurt all over but not on the outside,
I feel like everyone’s just using me.
It’s no one’s fault,
It’s just locked up in a vault.
I want to escape this place,
Never again want to see my face.
The mirror it haunts me,
It won’t let me flee.
I want to run away,
But it keeps getting in the way.
I hate what I’ve become,
I’m so stupid, so dumb.
I try so hard to be good,
To be what you all think I should.
I know I’m not right,
I’m not okay or alright.
I want to go home,
But I feel so alone.
I’m already in my bed,
But that keeps running through my head.
I feel so alone,
I don’t like being on my own.
I feel so scared and sad,
Like I’m so horribly bad.
I wish I was as talented as you say I am,
But no one really cares or even gives a damn.
I hate myself for what I’ve become,
I hate myself I feel like scum.
I want to be happy,
I want to be free.
I wish I knew what life should be,
Don’t want to go back to how I used to see.
I want to change myself,
Stop putting things on that little shelf.
I don’t want to be me,
I just want to be free.
