You say you don't hate yourself
When you are up all night crying in your bed

You say you don't hate yourself
Yet you still poison yourself with the lies in your head

You say you don't hate yourself
But you don't stop your toxic relationship with food

You say you don't hate yourself
Even though you never reach out to your friends except when your at school

You say you you don't hate yourself
Then why do you keep making excuses for not going to therapy, even when you know you need help

You say you don't hate yourself
At the same time you apologize again for simply existing

You say you don't hate yourself
While everyone close to you can see inside you're dying

If this is how you are when you don't hate yourself
I'd hate to see what you'd be like if you did
