self hatred of one's self can only lead to growth. personal EXP.

Man... you are seriously depressing. lol, but I liked the twist at the end... you're just creating a barrier, to show that your tough.. yet you want to be accepted, and you hope to be accepted in this way.
I understand you. I used this method once, I created a perfect mask... but they break... and emotions leak through. Perhaps the other people didn't feel anything, but I was soo ashamed that I moved out of that place... to a new start... I started to re-create my mask again, my armour, but the people there just accepted me and who I was... they "set me free from criticism and hate"
whoo~ long review... a bit of my history? anyways, GREAT POEM!!
