I hate my body.
Every inch of it.
I can find nothing redeemable in it.
My body has never failed to disappoint me.
The one thing it was made to do-- Survive.
It seems that this is too difficult a task.
My body always seems to fail me.
I hate my skin, that no amount of care can make clear.
The bloody spots, and scabs from picking.
That no matter how hard I try I cannot stop.
I hate my scars.
I hate my hair, that no matter what I do looks frizzy.
I hate the extra hair I grow, that makes me feel like a monster.
I hate the extra weight I carry around my middle.
That no amount of starving can rid me of.
I hate my hands.
I wish they were long and bony, instead of sort and thick.
I hate that I look like my family.
I hate my cheeks.
I hate my nose.
I hate my teeth.
I hate my smile.
I hate that necklaces don't hang loose on my neck like they do on my sister.
I hate my too broad shoulders.
I hate that my eyes are too small.
I hate the sunspots and freckles.
I hate the moles on my skin.
I hate my feet, that I cannot find shoes that fit.
I hate my ass.
I hate my breasts.
I hate that I am embarrassed by their small cup size and large band size.
I hate that clothes that are tight on me are loose on my sister.
I hate my brain, and the tumor attached to it.
I hate that it loves to hurt me.
I hate my hormones that make me feel like an alien in my own body.
I hate that I don't feel feminine enough.
I hate that this is just a shell to me.
That I feel no attachment to my body.
I hate that I want to crawl out of my skin, but that I can't.
I hate how I look.
I hate how I feel.
I hate my mind.
I hate my body.
I hate that I hate myself for the things I can't change.
I hate myself.
