I hate myself.
I hate myself because I feel
nothing.  All around me,
people's insides are corroding,
and they're smearing themselves,
their tears, and their problems all over
everyone's lives.  And I feel nothing.
I cannot write,
therefore I feel nothing.
I feel nothing,
therefore I cannot write.
It's the circle of my destruction:
Everyone's so busy feeling,
while I'm so busy peeling off my
complicated layers of emotions,
distancing myself.
And I hate myself
for being this way.
Hate is a feeling.  This situation,
this feeling,
is so logical.
