Just Talks [√]

[ welcome to the pity party ]

"Why do you degrade yourself?"

Why shouldn't I?

"Because it's not a good thing to do."

It's not like somebody would care whether I pity myself or not.

"Maybe there is."

Like who?

"Your friends."

Where are they now?

"What?"

They are not here, are they?

"No."

Exactly.

"But why do you do it though?"

I really don't know.

"Huh?"

I just feel like it's befitting for someone like me.

"Someone like you?"

Someone undeserving.

"You're not that."

Says who?

"Your parents, maybe?"

That's only natural instinct driving them.

"You don't need to hate yourself."

If I don't, who will?

"It's not like you need the hating."

Trust me, I do.

"Why?"

I just do.

"That's not a good way to live."

The better question is, am I really living?

"You are."

Are you sure?

"You're just not accepting the fact that you exist, thus the hate."

Same story.

"It's not."

Why?

"You just can't hate yourself if you love your life."

Maybe I don't love my life.

"You're using the word 'maybe'. It means that you do."

I used to.

"Then what's with the sudden change of heart?"

There you have it.

"What?"

I don't have a heart, maybe that's why.
