The Life of a Teenager

Dear God, I'm a Cliche.

I don't like myself.
I don't respect myself.
I don't believe in myself, or have confidence in myself.

I don't like myself.
I have no self-esteem.
I am self-conscious and awkward.
I am fat.
I am ugly.

I don't like myself.
I let people tell me what to do.
I let people tell me what to say.
I don't do anything right.

I don't like myself.
I am stupid.
I will never get anywhere in life.
I will never be accepted to Cambridge University.
I will never make something of myself.

I don't like myself.
I screw everything up.
I hurt people.
I shut myself away.

I like myself.
I refuse to be what people want me to be.
I will get into college.
I will make something of my life.
I will be someone.
No I won't.

Who am I kidding?

I'm just a little girl with lots of different faces to wear.

Yes, I do feel this way sometimes.
I'm not depressed.
I don't cut.
I'm just self-deprecating (is that the right word? Probably not.).
