hate.

what a strange word.

you can hate a lot of things,


the way your voice sounds,

the manner in which they talk to you,

how your hair falls.


i can't begin to describe what i hate


yes i hate the simple things,

but i also hate so much more.


i hate that i don't know who i am,

questioning my reality is second nature


i hate how i rely on other people to feel,

filling myself not with food but with solutions to problems that were never mine to solve


i hate that i let everyone down,

trying to fulfil goals that i never wanted


i hate that i am a failure,

never sensing that perhaps i'm not worthless


i hate a lot of things,

but not as much as i hate myself.
