I want to be the child she wished me to be; But they won't let me and keep on haunting me; Bad habits are what they are called; Having spread their roots deep within, holding me taut. Am I thinking of myself too highly; If I say this whole precious day was wasted on me solely; Wow nonsense! You have a brain fog, you cannot even think clearly. Writing poems and stories, maybe you should just give up; 'Cause you're not confident or talented enough to write about important issues and real stuff; Can you understand your own self? Will you ever figure out or do you need help? I don't even know, if I'm good at anything at all; A single achievement or moment of pride, can you recall? Stop the abstract and actual stabbings; They'll just hurt in vain, and are not acknowledged to be actually punishing. Lousy rhymes, lame lines, lazy you; I just cannot understand, no matter how much I try to.

The one I wish to be.

Self-loathing is never helpful, is it?
neither
