Desperation
Am I human,
Who's to know?
I love myself
but in a way
I don't.
There are ways that I despise myself;
my face, my choices, me
everything about me
just
pure
hatred
But in ways I love myself;
my creativity, my heart, me
everything
I love the way
I can create things from just a pen and paper
I can create new worlds
Just with my mind
I love that
I can invent a whole new version of myself
Just with a simple app
But
I hate that
I can’t get past small issues
I hate that
I always make little things
seem like they mean the world
I hate that
I just wish
I could
Change
So I ask again,
Am I human?
That is up for you to decide
But it is up to me
To accept
Your
Decision
