Bubble

I was almost going to say …

“Your hate can’t touch me,

I don’t like me myself”

but I don’t hate myself

I don’t know any who do

I would better say instead …

“Your touch can’t reach me

I can’t reach me myself”

it would be more correct

since feeling comes so hard

Because I really don’t hate myself.

I often think that I’m worthless,

that I’m unworthy consideration,

that I own nothing of any value to

anyone, even to myself. I convince

myself that these are an accurate

assessment of who I am. But I sure

don’t hate myself. Really, I don’t.

Not even a little.
