I don’t even love myself

It’s such a mind boggling idea, that someone could ever love Me.

I don’t even love myself.

Its not that I don’t want to , I long to find love for myself. 

To look in a mirror and not feel down; not feel drowned.

But I’m not comfortable with the body I breathe in. 

Because I measure myself up to everyone else as if we are all in a competition.

one great societal expectation of a competition.

I think I’ve lost myself again...

It does it not matter how many times you tell me I’m beautiful. The words drown in my view. Because to me I’m a nothing , I will always be nothing.

They tell you to be happy you must love yourself.

I can’t find the courage to do so. Because loving yourself means accepting your flaws and I’m not ready to do that.

so I continue to cover them up , continue to diet . Because even though I know loosing weight or dying your hair gives temporary fulfilment , it’s all I can manage.

I dont even love myself.
