What you think of yourself is much more important that what people think of you

You say you care
and then watch as
I tear myself to shreds
and pretend
to try and sew me
back together
the whole time
yanking out the
thin strands
of thread
that hold me together
watching as
I unravel
more
and more
and more
until I am
nothing.
