Look At Me--By Emma

Darkness envelops me and sorrow prevails
A constant belief of insignificance hangs overhead
My stab at withholding my abnormality fails
People know what I am, but won't let it be said
They tend to overlook the imperfection that is me
It seems they're love for me deceives their eyes
My confidence is scant, so that only I can see
My self-pitying and worthlessness is no disguise
I am me as much as I loath and disapprove
Only shadows and disinterest can make me obscure
The lack of distinction that dusk delivers does soothe
At night I am stronger, I am able to open a door
I cower in the gloom and prepare to confront me
No need to hide, I study my soul, my physical form
And feel only hate, anger, bitterness for what I see
Resentment, disgust, aversion, all these are the norm.
No one can relieve me, like I once thought they could
Talking, tablets and letters cannot help me change
Liking yourself is what everyone does, I know I should
People love me so why can't I. Am I that strange?
I know that I'm ailing, that's the very first stage
To my friends Ana and Mia I shall say good-bye
When I am free of them I will start a new page
It is my life, my choice, to win or lose, to live or die.
