"Together, We're Stronger."



I don’t like public speaking


I don’t like people looking at me


I don’t like that people look at me and they see me


I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve 


I wear it in on my face


and I don’t like that everyone looks at my face


I do like my face


I like my appearance but 


I don’t like the appearance of my emotions on my face


I don’t like eye contact


I don’t like skin contact


I don’t like emotional contact because then people can see me and i don’t like when people see me


I don’t like humans which in a sense doesn’t make sense because I’m human


Which would mean I don’t like me


Do I like me?


I like my humor


I don’t like my voice


I like my mannerisms


I don’t like my nails


I do and I don’t like me


But people see me and they like me and


I don’t like that


I don’t like that I'm always nervous


I don’t like that I’m anxious


I don’t like that being anxious and nervous makes me human because 


I don’t like humans


But I am human


I don’t like humans but I like me 


I don’t like the world but I like my world


I don’t like contact but I like feeling close to myself


I like what I like and don’t what I don’t 


And i like that I can know this and still say


I don't like you but I definitely love me

I wrote this for a school project, but I feel like someone really needs to hear this.
