Headaches

My friend once told me
She hurts her self because
She hates her life
She didn’t say it exactly like that
But at the time I couldn’t comprehend how she did it.
Now I kind of understand.
I practically do the same thing with my headaches.
I get them all the time.
Instead of taking medicine to make them stop.
I let the pain get so bad that no medicine could help.
Now most could see that’s a stupid thing to do.
But honestly it what I deserve. 
I’m a horid person 
Though most wouldn’t know
I pathologically lie
And I hate people so much that 
I wish they would just die.
I hate my self so much that one time I almost tried to die.
I won’t paint that sad picture 
Because I’m pretty sure 
You can already see it in your minds eye.
But now I just punish my self 
With these headaches 
To try killing myself on the inside.
