Not Knowing Who You Are

It must be hard to take a look at yourself and know that you are a horrible person inside and out When you take a long look at you life you only see deceit and lies When you can't even look at yourself in a mirror You hate yourself more then anyone else could Torn always been two Never knowing who to choose Living only in circles Never going straight Not finding yourself The only thing you can control is what you put in your mouth Watching you wither away is more painful then watching you growing apart from me Tearing yourself apart is the only way you know how to live You’re a sad and desperate person You want everyone else to feel how you do so you try and bring them down It amazes me how sad you really are I can't believe I didn't see it till this far It sickings me I believed you in and you let me down

ouch...this one hurts..."it must be hard [...] and out"...it's tough indeed to be objective about yourself, and it truly hurts to reach to such a conclusion about your own being...and i guess you expressed the reasons very well in the first part of the poem...BUT...i would have stopped right after "tearing [...] to live". i do believe this poem can stand up for itself perfectly up to there, because "sad and desperate" are not enough to justify the idea previously conveyed...
