How?

How can you look at me with such
love filled eyes when I can't even
offer an ounce of love to you?
-
How can you think I'm beautiful
and still smile because to be honest
I'm flawed all over the place.
-
How can you hold my hand in
public when I'm such an
embarrassment and only hurts
you back?
-
How can you still love me when
I absolutely hate myself?
