I HATE ME TOO!

I hate me,
and everything I've come to be.
Everything that didn't last,
and all that's happened in the past.
All my mistakes that I have made,
make it harder to live today.
I'm now looked at like a whore.
Why can't you see, I'm so much more?
Why can't I just go back,
and change everything that I lack?
How can I make the real me show?
The me that everybody would like to know.
The me I can like,
the good me,
the honest me,
that's the one I wanna be.
It's too late.
Is it just fate?
Can there ever be love,
in place of this hate?
Will everyone look at me,
as the same?
The white trash girl,
who has no shame.
But that's not me,
no not at all!
Why did a few mistakes,
make me completely fall?
The only way that I can be liked,
is to love myself first,
and I'll try with all my might!

ohh...this one seems to be the opposite of my last one...i think it's much harder to hate yourself than to hate others...
concerning your poem...i love it...and i can identify with lots of your feelings( except the white thrash girl for i'm male )
it tells the truth i guess

how will i laugh tomorrow
when i can't even smile today

isn't it true that you can't expect poeple to like you if you don't first like yourself

It's hard to change that kind of wiring.

tch...this hit closer to home than y'know...

can't say I enjoyed the read, but I have to wonder if the voices in my head have been talking to the voices in yours?

with just a slight wink and nod of knowing.

I don't know if this is from your own personal experience and how you feel about yourself. If it is, I would just like to say that it's never too late..as long as there is breath, there's hope.
And this part is so true....

The only way that I can be liked,
is to love myself first,
and I'll try with all my might!


Good for you!!!!!  

Hugs,

My first thought when reading this was welcome to humanity, we are or have all been whores, in multiple different ways, one way or another.  Perhaps yours is easier to identify for white trash is a dead give-away in this poem making plain what you are talking about here.

Your honesty and self-hatred a good starting place to review how you acted in past and choices you'll make for future.

Self-respect comes with positive action of changed behavior and the aura of that will automatically change how others percieve you. Loved your last lines.

When we reach bottoms there nothing to do but look up and the help from that direction is amazing...

As for your critique box, this poem does not suck, it is rich in life and learning and useful to all of us who are still growing and changing for the better...

Hugs, Pat

Do you like Alice in Chains?  Uh, your poem made me think of one of their songs.  I think "Down in a Hole" is one of the most powerful songs I've heard.  I think your poem had that same kind of element.  I don't think the words of your poem matter as much as the feeling you put into them.  What else matters right?
