Self-loathing

My mind is burdened

It plays tricks on me

Telling me I’m flawed and useless

I don’t understand this hate

Hate is a strong word

Yet, it’s true

I hate myself, my flawed body

I try to counter act this sinister thinking

I tell myself I am pretty

I am lean and tall

Not fat at all

It’s all too late

But my body still disgusts me

I don’t see thin and pretty

Only bumpy, fat, and blobby

Ugly, invisible, adverse

I shy away from close fitting clothes

Because they’re sure to show my imperfections

My lumps and bumps

My unwanted peaks and valleys

My body is one hundred and twenty pounds of lean muscle

And yet I still find myself to be a disgrace

A disappointment

Hideous and obscene

A monster

I hate my body and my mind

I want to love myself and all my flaws

But when I try

I hate myself all the more

I really loved this piece. It was full of emotion and rich in vocabulary. I think that a lot of people could relate to this (including myself). Overall, it's a very good write.(:
