Treat yourself the way you'd want to treat others?
Be kind to others, they say.
Treat others the way you want to be treated. I’m told.
Because,
It’s so hard to forgive her.
When I look at her I see trash.
Garbage.
Worthlessness,
An ugly burden.
Even when she didn’t do anything wrong, I can’t help but hate her.
I hate the way her face looks.
Her body and voice just enrage me as is.
I criticize all of her work, telling her she should just give up.
She cries,
But I don’t care.
She deserves it.
She deserves to die.
Nobody needs her
She just bothers everyone with her mere existence.
Oh? I’m being mean? No, no it’s fine. I’m just talking about myself.

This poem was based off of how I notice that we are so kind to others, but it’s so easy to constantly, brutally abuse ourselves to a point that we believe that we are worthless. It’s so easy to hate yourself, but so hard to love yourself. If you spoke about yourself as if you were insulting another person, it sounds so mean. Right? What if, everytime we insulted ourselves, we talked about it as if we were talking about someone else we know. And maybe, we could learn to love ourselves easier.
