twisted, ragged, unloved
selfish, beaten, stupid
worthless, hopeless, poor
depressed, emotional, sad

i reflect on these words daily, feeling them etch themselves into my arms

they happily feed off of my life force, sucking me dry of any emotions i once thought i could possess

i am twisted because i'd rather hurt myself than spend time with my family
i am ragged because i'd rather be torn than mended
i am unloved because no one has ever shown me what it's like to return feelings

i am selfish because i avoid important things to dwell on why i didn't do them later
i am beaten because that is just what my mom does
i am stupid because society says so and because i have been convinced that i am

i am worthless because that is what i've been told
i am hopeless because i like being sad
i am poor because if wealth depends on family and stability then i am at a loss

i am depressed because that is what my doctor tells me
i am emotional because i have no one to talk to
i am sad because i am hopeless

with all of these things that i simply am, when will someone tell me what i can actually be?

or is it just that impossible?
