I don't like me
I look in the mirror
And what do I see
This mutated creature
That used to be me
Youth it has passed on by
Not here long enough to say goodbye
Is all that I see
All I can expect to be
used to be
That I could fly
Kissed the girls
Never made them cry
Now they see what I can see
And it seems they shy away from me
You come in and offer
Your sweet loving to me
A true full length feature
A real fantasy
Leave before I make you cry
Don't hang around
Just say goodbye
How can I love you
When I don't like me
And what do I see
This mutated creature
That used to be me
Youth it has passed on by
Not here long enough to say goodbye
Is all that I see
All I can expect to be
used to be
That I could fly
Kissed the girls
Never made them cry
Now they see what I can see
And it seems they shy away from me
You come in and offer
Your sweet loving to me
A true full length feature
A real fantasy
Leave before I make you cry
Don't hang around
Just say goodbye
How can I love you
When I don't like me

This self poem of yours is sad because you seem to be mad at you and then you extend it to others who inevitably are looking up to you for love. The world will be one wide whorl of chaos if we all hated ourselves.
Whereas it takes so little to love oneself.
Back to the poem. It is a great one. The latter part of the poem did hit me like a punch..."Leave before I make you cry
Don't hang around
Just say goodbye
How can I love you
When I don't like me"

it's so true, we treat people differently depending on how we feel about ourselves, whether passing mood or deep depression, actively or passively. i really enjoyed the honesty here. well put. [:
