Dear self,
Why did I treat you so badly?
I hate myself.
Why did I dig knives and blades into my thighs and wrists?
I want to block out emotional pain so I welcome physical pain.
Why did I starve you?
I'm not skinny enough.
Why did I hate you so much?
Because I am worthless.
Why can't I accept you?
Because I am not good enough.
Why can't you be skinnier?
I'm trying...
Why can't you be prettier?
I'm wearing makeup...
Why is your hair such a mess?
It's frizzy because of the humidity...
WHY CAN'T YOU BE PERFECT?
I'm sorry... I'll just end the suffering...
Sincerely,
You
