I Don'T Understand

I don't understand what you see.
I'm nothing special.
I'm awkward,
chubby,
paranoid.
What do you see in me,
that makes you smile?
Why do you waste your time
on someone like me?
I'm so clingy
and I can't help it. 
Why do you claim to love me,
when it's hard for me to love myself?
I'm a wreck and I can't see why
you're still here..
Why can't you be like everyone else
and just realize how screwed up I am.
I complain,
I cry.
You hold me near
and tell me I'll be okay
but I still don't see how..
How can anyone love someone
as I?
A girl who's emotionally destroyed,
a girl who's emotionally unstable.
A girl who wants to die. 
I'll never understand
why you're still here...
