The Way I Am

This is the curse of self hate... this is how I see myself. Please comment xo.
I know my flaws
I try to hide them
But that only makes them easier to see
My tears of shame fall
And my heart is screaming for you
I cut away my flesh...
To try and be the person you want me to be
My skin is slashed
My blood on the floor
I cry in the dark
You knock on the door
Why..?
If I was pretty
If I didn't wear black
If I could smile
Would you want me back?
Everyday my life turns in the direction away from you
Is it destiny?
Is this my fate?
The whole of eternity... drowning in my own hate...
