| NOT ENOUGH |
Every morning, I wake up, drag my feet out of my bed despite the weight crushing my bones. I look at the mirror and resist the urge to vomit at the outrageous sight that is my reflection.
The blemishes, spots and scars painting my face like a horror script which is probably scarier than the ghost shown in Insidious. I close my eyes and tell myself, "Get over it."
I trudge through my daily routine, trying to drown out the screams of people around me.
"You're ugly!"
"You are fat!"
"No one will ever want you!"
"Why can't you be prettier?!"
"Why are you so careless?!"
"Why don't you go out and run?"
"Why can't you lose some weight?!"
"Why can't you use some beauty treatments that can make your ugly face at least average??"
"Why? Why? Why?"
Questions hunt my soul down and rips it apart. It leaves me crying tears of blood, snatching my will to live. I can't breathe.
But hey, the day hasn't ended yet.
My demon inside me starts speaking.
"You're pathetic."
"No matter what you do, you will never be pretty."
"What's the point of trying?"
"You'll never be like that girl you look up to so much."
"So dwell in the abyss that's your mind and decay."
So I decay. Tears dry, staining my cheeks, draining my life force until I can't move anymore. My insides are hollow, only pain is left.
Pain. Frustration. Fear. Disappointed. Hatred.
Everyone's gone.
Only depression and anxiety stays. They hear me scream inside my mind.
"I wish I could kill myself."
"I wish I didn't exist."
"I wish I wasn't born."
"I wish...."
I wish..... I was good enough.
But I...am not enough.
