I’m so sick of myself

My friends are hurt

My family is hurt

My body is hurt

All because of me

I refuse help

I need it badly

Is it worth the risk?

I hurt everything I come into contact with

It’s not intentional

Intention is irrelevant

When others get hurt

I know I deserve pain

I know I deserve hell

I know

I’m so sick of myself

I shouldn’t be like this

It’s unnatural

No one should cause pain

But it seems nature decided

To take the day off







Please be kind when criticizing!! This is free verse and I don't feel how this poem expresses anymore, so don't worry about that part.

Hi, I'm not sure it's possible to make suggestions for something so personal. I am inclined to suggest getting a second opinion on the situation though if this is based on reality. Sometimes it's daunting thinking of making big steps to change something deeply engrained, however those offering help on various matters are usually experts who can help with small steps in the right direction instead of staying on a destructive path.
