to love what is not desirable

by Emily Davidson

sometimes i'm ignored
and sometimes i'm unwanted
but i know for a fact
that those are my only two options

i think my limbs might cave in
sometime soon
because i can't live another day with thoughts
as perverse as these
and if i do
i just might fall asleep
and never wake up

every day i'm a little
uglier
and every day i learn to
love it a little more
just because
hating myself
gets old

kind of inspirational...and very relatable. Great work.
