When I Look At Myself

When I look at myself all I see is a person,
Nothing less,
Nothing more.
No true definition to my name.
Just a person,
Living life,
Conforming to circumstances,
Reacting to what the earth throws at you.

When I look at myself I see an unstable teenage girl,
That can be completely sane one day,
And go berserk the next.
Someone that doesn't know how to properly behave in specific situations,
Someone that can't seem to shut up.

When I look at myself I see solitude,
Where I just sit with my book
Pretending that reality doesn't exist,
Acting as if the rest of the world is nonexistent.

When I look at myself I see hate,
Everyone within in my proximity and abroad are petty,
Everyone are morons,
Everyone annoys me,
Everyone finds a way to prove to me that they’re ignorant,
Everyone hates me.

When I look at myself I see nothing.

This was originally for my Creative Writing class, but I did not present it, so I wrote a different one. I thought this would relate to a lot of teenagers. This is not entirely true, I just like writing (kind of).
