Self-Hate Anthem

Mirror shows the same disease
I talk, it laughs back at me
Every flaw's a new tattoo,
Cut deep enough - truth bleeds through
Can't fake confidence anymore
I'm the rot beneath the floor.
This is my self-hate anthem,
Screamed from a place too deep to stand in
I hate my breath, my skin, my sound,
break just to feel I'm found
You say "love yourself someday,"
But I've hated me since first grade
Every smile's a dying act,
I don't want "help" - I want it back
Stop preaching hope, l've heard the verse,
I'm not cursed - I'm just worse
This is my self-hate anthem
Screamed from a place too deep to stand in
I hate my breath, my skin, my sound
I break just to feel I'm found
If healing's real, why do I bleed?
If I'm enough, why can't I believe?
Say l'Il change - it's just decay
I'm not alive, I just stay

This is me - and I hate it
