Beating Oneself Up

On a broken pedestal
Under estimate our worth
Run away from problems

Wishing for the impossible
Open to resistance, not change
Relish in misery
Self mutilation
Trust no one

Enjoy little of life's pleasures
Not negotiable
Energy exhausted on nonsense
Making mountains out of eroded sand dunes
Yes, you.
