Feel like I'm not worth it anymore.
Deplore myself so much that I abhor,
not that I'm uncared for
but pretending to be fine is such a chore.

Seek out the place I belong;
Something, someone to get along.
my destiny that I prolong,
pray to not let this last lifelong.

Come to realise these faces don't really care
just in for the drama, not to be my debonair.
World carries on, but here I am stuck;
Apparently I ran short of luck.

I'm not the kind to cause a scene,
not the kind to die in public by a guillotine.
The kind to keep it to myself, craving some release.
Calling myself ugly, pathetic and obese.

Not so hushed whispers on my beak future;
yet do nothing to help, to suture.
I let the numbness envelope me
Hollow, unable to form a repartee.

It's been too long since I wrote a poem out and it's oddly therapeutic.
