I hate myself today.
Yesterday I was okay.

but today, my breath is shallow
hate is a gas mask, filtering the sunshine
throat
my
in
rising
bile
smothering, gagging
hot and bitter
cold and numbing

all my faults laid bare
like surgery

I read my poem
hate it
I don't deserve eloquence
words churning in my chest
splashing acid in my throat
don't deserve to lay out the pain
view it from the outside looking in

I smile in the sunshine
at the strangers walking by
I don't hate the world
they'd just hate me
if they knew me
