How Do I Avoid Myself

Just stay away from the bullies

All you have to do is avoid them, right

But what if I am my own bully

My brain tells me every day that I'm worthless

That no one could ever love a self-harming freak

How do I avoid myself

I can't shut the voices out

I've tried and they won't go away

They sneak back in through the cracks

Of my broken heart, soul, and mind

How do I escape these bullies

It's not as easy as people make it sound

When you're a self-hating, self-harming freak
