I feel as if I’m not worth anything
I’m not valuable, not needed
I feel as if I’m alone
No one to truly help
I’m only with my thoughts

But all of these thoughts are against me
I’m not loved, pretty, special, unique
Nothing about me draws attention
I don’t stand out in any way

All of these people I meet
The “friends” I make don’t care
None of them would stand for me
They might smile at me, be friendly
But I feel as if I don’t amuse them

I just annoy them
They don’t love me
They don’t truly care
Why would they?
I’m not capable of being loved

Every time I look in the mirror
I’m appalled at what I see
I don’t like my reflection
I’m not pretty or skinny
I see why no one wants me
I’m not wanted here
Or anywhere

It’s almost unfair
Why am I me?
Why can’t I be someone else?
Anyone else?
I don’t want to be me
Why aren't I beautiful?
Like the rest of them



I try
I try to be like everyone else
I try to be nice
I try to be deservingly kind
It doesn't seem to help
It doesn't seem to change anything

Still, anywhere, everywhere I turn
There’s someone to reject me
Tell me that I’m not good enough

The worst part is, it’s true
It’s all true
I’m not pretty
No one likes me
I’m not wanted
I’m not good enough

These voices
They’re supposed to tell me different
These voices in my head
They’re supposed to encourage me
To lift my confidence
They don’t

They’re all against me
They all say what I don’t want to hear
The things I already know

These voices hate me
All of these voices
These terrible, evil voices
They do hate me

These voices are me
