I wish I could tell you how I felt.
But that would be selfish of me.
The truth is,
You deserve so much more than me.
I'm a mess.
My ups and downs give me whiplash.
As soon as I'm up, I'm crashing down in a millisecond.
I wish I could be normal.
So then I could feel worth the space I occupy.
That I was worth the air I need to breathe.
I hate who I am.
I'm a disappointment to the world and everyday I struggle to see why I deserve to continue living.
