By Exodus





Its okay if you make me hurt more
Its fine
Give me more of a reason to end it right now
I hate it
Everyone says the same thing
“Oh you’re nice when you want to be”
I’m not enough for anybody
You know I’m horrible just say it
I can take it
Even if it does take my life
I’ll try to be perfect
Just don’t hate me
Don’t make me cry

I never stop crying.

    "your nice when you want to be" I know exactly how that feels, apparently i'm insulting all the time. I never really noticed it but oh well. This poem reminded me of my best friend, are you her in disguise? hmmmmm ponders away...

    because that makes it sound like you choose not to be nice all the rest of the time... and that's just not true. I think what's happening when people say that is that they've seen the contrast,

    and they're surprised by it and don't quite know how to handle it... you have a much stronger personality than most people are used to.

    "Even if it does take my life/ I’ll try to be perfect/ Just don’t hate me/ Don’t make me cry" screams so much pain at me, it makes my toes curl... but you have nothing to worry about - nobody will hate you for not being perfect.

    Don't cry... there's no reason to... believe me, you have no reason to cry...

  • A former member wrote: Nobody is perfect. And nobody should expect you to be perfect. The pain in this over powers the poem itself. I think you can be whoever you want to be. And one day you'll find someone who loves you for that.
