a fragile self

behind my smiles,

discovered its weak side

this girl who has depression, OCD

her friends

who backstabbed her

the unknown who knifed her life


they keep coming back to me

perhaps it's my true self

huh, these feelings of mine felt unknown

it felt like a never-ending cycle


here goes another round of "She's ugly, she's untalented, she's annoying"

here, sip my tea of act between the warm touch of your thumb

as I pour these lies to your cup

i pretend to be strong,

here I pour and I pour 'til the cup's over-filled

i want to plead but it's fine I'll just follow your lead


to the point

it becomes a habit of mine

"i don't care," I say

said to the weak me

who cries so easily

who gets bruised by those words like the catastrophe

who injures herself

drops herself to the floor over and over again

like that single piece of a dime from my wallet

that same wallet they look down upon me for

please do continuously call me that annoying bore


as time goes by,

i asked myself constantly,

"who the hell am I?"

i don't feel like my true self

so scarred and traumatized

and here I say I am tired of this

i despise myself

after those door-slamming

bathroom-looking

isolation

imitation

recreational days

all of this is a haze

yet they still crave


there I stay with them

feeling scared, self-conscious

yet numb like I'm unconscious

'til now I say I think

twice

thrice

even more at times of everything I do


here I continue by saying

i'm afraid

afraid to hate

it'll only hurt myself

i just have one wish


i want to have someone who truly cares about me

who doesn't give a fuck about my flaws

who's there for me

to be the shoulder I cry on

to hold my hand tightly

be my shining light

give me hope


is it that hard,

to not be apart from that who cherishes me

wanting to be loved might be selfish

and I might be hellish

but I just want to be cherished

so can I?

can I be loved?

is it bad?

wanting to be loved?
