We tell ourselves stories in order to live
-Joan Didion


Am I human,

Who's to know?

I love myself

but in a way

I don't.

 

There are ways that I despise myself;

my face, my choices, me

everything about me 

just

pure

hatred


But in ways I love myself;

my creativity, my heart, me

everything


I love the way 

I can create things from just a pen and paper

I can create new worlds

Just with my mind


I love that

I can invent a whole new version of myself

Just with a simple app


But

I hate that 

I can’t get past small issues

I hate that

I always make little things

seem like they mean the world

I hate that

I just wish

I could

Change


So I ask again,

Am I human?

That is up for you to decide

But it is up to me

To accept

Your

Decision

I wrote this when I wasn't feeling the best or the worst, just middle ground. I hope you like it.
