1. I hate my acne, How it blemishes my cheeks, Leaving scars for you to trace in the dark as you kiss away my skin 2. I hate my weight. The rolls of fat unevenly proportioned around my middle so that my jeans will never fit "just right" and my broad shoulders reminding me every time I pull on a shirt that I'm not built like a woman 3. I hate my appetite. My stomach's never satisfied with a salad or a soup. No, I need the whole **** steak. 4. I hate my laugh, how it crescendos through deep rolling hills starting in my belly and ending in my soul. It's infectious, because once I start you can't stop 5. I hate that I'm beautiful, because I know that I'm not, but **** when you look at me like that, I outshine the stars. 6. I hate my honesty, "No, I'm fine," why the hell can't I just say that, but no, I have to go bare my whole soul to you in hopes that you don't bare it right back 7. Man, I hate that I'm faithful. I hate that I'm never gonna throw in the towel when things get tough, and that every time you leave, I'll stay 8. I hate that I believe, believe all the lies that you feed me, hoping, maybe, by God's grace. It's different this time and you'll stay 9. I hate myself. I'm too good for you, and not good enough for you, and I'll never ever be what you need, but I keep trying and changing to become bad enough for you, and good enough for you, and to somehow attempt to be what you need. I hate myself because I have lost myself. But 10. Mostly, I just hate that I give a **** I hate that I care about myself, my weight, my height, my face, my attitude I hate that I'm not happy being me.

10 Things I Hate About Myself
