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...
