Simple Steps For Self Destruction

The worst thing you can do to yourself,
Is to tell yourself that you don't matter.
After that, it is a long, winding, downward spiral.

Just look at me.

When I was young I convinced myself that
I was lesser than those around me and that
They, by far, surpassed me in every way.

Now look at me.

I can't love myself because I hate everything
I do to the point where I feel very guilty,
Just for being alive.

Please don't be like me.

Know that you do matter and every feeling
You have is valid and every thought you conjure up
Is worth more than anything.

I am trying.

It's hard being where I am and at times
I feel very stuck and very lost but heaven knows,
I am trying.

Look at me and learn from me that the only one who
Can truly destroy your spirit, is yourself.

Don't become your own worst enemy.
