PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

because of my indecisiveness

because of my acute sensitivity to others' mistreatment

because of my ambitions followed by lack of achievement

i hate myself

i hate myself today.



sometimes i eye the road as the cars go by

i consider that if i'd stood there one moment before

my life as i know it would no longer exist

would it be so bad really? i have to think

but i'm too strong or weak to find out - whichever one

therefore i wake again to the morning sun



because of my excess belly fat

because of my lack of physical strength

because of no one to keep me at arm's length

i hate myself

i hate myself today.



i see other men and how they live their lives

some jaded, some love bound, some carefree

but i can't find one of them who won't trump me

in some important way i'll always be beaten

the laws of nature put me in my place

a distant runner-up in the human race



because of my forgetfulness and lack of insight

because of my shortness and lack of height

because of my resistance to the spotlight

i hate myself

i hate myself today.



it can't be good to loathe oneself so

but because i believe i'm far from perfect

and i also adhere to extremes

i reason it must be so i'm at the bottom of the heap

my sole means of escape counting sheep



because of my failure to pick myself up

because of my rigidity in the face of life

because i cut my own heart out with a knife

i hate myself

i hate myself today.



it's not an easy thing to say...

still i hate myself

i hate myself today.
