i'm tired of hating myself
not for what i'm not,
but for what i am
i'm me, and i know i have
a few (or more) screws loose
i know that i hurt people
i know that i'm just a bad person
but hating myself does nothing
but make my character worse
i don't get better
i just spiral
so this isn't worth it
it isn't that my problems
are lesser
it's just that they're not worth
me worrying about them
i'm not worth my own time
instead i'm going to start over
and stop worrying about whether
or not i'm a bad person
because i like myself, actually
the only thing wrong with me
is me
