I hate myself for all the words I say
Which I detest from the bottom of my heart
I hate myself for all the things I do
Which never reflect in my list of tasks
I hate myself for tasks I fail to do
Which I’d love at the top of stack
I hate myself for all my actions
which make me feeble or depressed
I hate myself for all the inaction
Which makes me suspect myself
I hate myself for all the time
Which I drain to please others
I hate myself for all the drama
Which everyday life uncovers
I hate myself when I waste myself
And dread that my life is a waste
I hate myself when I rely on others
To assist me win life’s race
I hate myself when I can’t muster courage
To fly against the breeze
I hate myself for the life I live
Which I never imagined in dreams

“I hate myself for tasks I fail to do
Which I’d love at the top of stack” – that’s the only thing that grows in my life without any care. If my bank balance would have grown like that! One can only wish.

It’s so depressing but sadly a lot of people go through these feelings of hate and forget to love themselves for the things that are. You’ve captured how they feel well.

Sentiments understood. But the path of least resistance, loving thyself, may be well worth your while.

I think a list like this will not help… a list of things you love would help as well.

I know that feeling. Try to be kind to yourself – I love the idea from other commenters of a twin poem with affirmations!

Ah, it hurts to read this. So much of who I thought I was, was just wrong, now I am left with a hypocrite, and an idiot, who thought she was smart.
