Hateing Myself At Times

Life as I know it is hard living.
Day by day I struggle through to make ends meet.
There are times I do hate myself, but the more I
fight life the easier it gets. There are people in
this world who are much worse off then I am.
My life isn't that bad. I have a roof over my head,
food to eat, and a family that loves me alot.
I guess once in a while everyone hates themselves.

But never let it ruin your life, like I almost have. Reading
poems from here has made me change. Different people
have their own unique problems of their own to deal with,
and they do. We all write about it and don't give up. We
chat to each other, so the next time you decide to hate
yourself, stop and think hard before you really make that
bad decision of hateing youselves. Life isn't that bad
really. Keep on keeping on. If I can, you can.

The first person that you should love is that one that looks at you from the mirror each morning, just tell that person that you love them and then, that love will spill over to all you meet on this journey. The poor people in this world are those that lose faith in themselves, not those who beg for food, or have to walk 10 miles each way for a can of dirty water. Having been to a few very poor areas in this world, there you will find the best smiles that a person can give. Your piece told others how you felt and it is good that you feel for others as you do but don't lose sight of that reflection in that mirror on the wall, Yours Ian.T

Dear yenti

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I will look in the mirror much differently. I never given it much thought of the person in the mirror. All I see is a monster. I tried to put a picture of me on the site, but for some reason it did not take. I will try again. I don't know much about puters, so my daddy will have to help me upload a picture for everyone to see. Thank you for you input. It does make me think. I can't be as bad as I think I am. Thank you for showing me that. Thank you for taking time to read and comment on my poem. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I have been in and out of the hospital since last summer. I post in between stays. Thank you again for your time. Your Friend, Pixee

Hi Pixee,

true words and feelings, but not really in "poem"-style, I´m afraid... How about rearranging the lines and maybe shortening some of them? I´d suggest something like: Life as I know it is hard living. Day by day I struggle through to make ends meet. There are times I do hate myself, but the more I fight life the easier it gets. There are people in this world much worse off then I am. My life isn’t that bad. I have a roof over my head, food to eat, and a loving family. I guess once in a while everyone hates themselves. But never let it ruin your life, like I almost have. Reading poems from here has made me change. Different people have their own unique problems to deal with, and they do. We all write about it and don’t give up. We chat to each other, so the next time you decide to hate yourself, stop and think hard before you really make that bad decision of hating youselves. Life isn’t that bad really. Keep on keeping on. If I can, you can. Well, this is still not "it" I daresay, but you could work from there. Good luck, and, to quote your own words: "Keep on keeping on!" Yours, ~Nina
