It Was All A Facade

everything I said about loving myself

was a facade,

it must have been an empty sigh

to give me some empathy

since I don't really know what true love is

or what it should look like

because nobody has shown me,

and if I convinced myself I did

maybe it would come true,

instead, I convinced the people around me

that I love myself

and I'm stuck in the endless Ferris wheel,

pretending I love myself when I'm at the top

when I critique everything about myself

every single waking hour.
