Disappear

I'm in that desperate mood again

Where me, myself am not my friend

I pull my hair, I scratch my skin,

My feet? Too small. My waist? Not thin.

I want to scream, be someone else.

With softer hair, a nicer face.

I hate this stupid mirror

I wish I could just run away.

But from yourself, you cannot hide.

With my less than perfect body.

With my less than average brain,

My need for makeup, hair that’s knotty.

I know I could be better

Or you never would have left.

There MUST be something wrong with me

Some bad thing left unkept.

Or maybe you did look past my face,

Though ugly as it is.

Maybe I'm just a stupid freak.

With weird ideas. A downright geek.

Times like this I wish I could just cut my wrist.

But I cant. Too many promises.

But I dream about it night and day...

I wish I could just fade away.

Not like anyone would notice,

Or wonder where id been.

Nobody would ever question

Why I was never seen again.
