Unworthy

I can't help hating myself. I can't stop thinking I'm not good enough. You are my friend; am I your friend? I can't think positive: no matter how I try, I can't swallow optimism, it's the bitterest thing; I can only swallow cries for help. And once I've shut myself up, I put my smiling mask back on and pretend to be happy.
