1I want to love myself.

I want to feel my own skin

as I see yours.

Unblemished.

I cannot accept a compliment

because I disagree entirely.

I am worthless.

The words seem worse when written.

I want to feel unencumbered

by jealousy and stress

so that I can laugh

and not worry how I look.

I would die to live as you have,

a life of perfection but

do you think? Maybe.

Impossible.

You may hate yourself too.
