what i can remember
is a lot like water

of the most beautiful colors

You chuckle.
You laugh.
You tease.
You mock me.

Self-consciousness,
An illness of the soul.

Never good enough,
For myself.

They say it's just a joke.
Do they know how much it stings?

I hurt myself enough,
With insults of my own creation.

Fat.
Ugly.
Slow.
Stupid.

Self-consciousness
Illness of my soul.

I mock myself,
So you see,
I don't need your help.
