I Hate Myself

I hate myself
Everytime I look in the mirror,
The reflection staring back at me
Isn't who I want to be
Even now that I'm eighteen

I hate myself
Everyday I let the hunger take over me
Thinking that maybe just maybe
I'll finally be happy
But I'm still not who I want to be

I hate myself
But nobody actually listens to me
When I tell them that I'm not who I want to be
When I tell them that I hate myself
All they do is ask why
But the thing is
I don't know
I just hate myself
