I can't keep lying to myself.
I have to accept this.
Accept me.
Accept them.
No more lies.
It hurts me too much.
It destroys my mentality to the point where I fear.
I can't take it anymore.
I understand that I've changed.
I get that I'm no longer the same person
But...
At the same time, I am.
I'm spiraling.
I'm descending deeper into madness
Letting these thoughts consume me.
My entire person was fake.
My entire personality was a flaw.
I'm a flaw to humankind.
...
No, I'm not...
I'm beautiful.
...
That's also not true.
I'm disgusting.
I feel gross in my own body.
I feel the need to destroy it.
I feel the need to kill it.
I need to stop.
This isn't healthy.
I'm not stable anymore.
I need help.
But, I don't want help...
I don't want to burden others with my problems.
I don't want them to think I'm annoying.
That was my point.
I was supposed to keep it all in.
So why am I telling you this?
...
Nobody's there.
Who am I talking to?
...
