I hate myself for all the words I say
Which I detest from the bottom of my heart
I hate myself for all the things I do
Which never reflect in my list of tasks
I hate myself for tasks I fail to do
Which I’d love at the top of stack
I hate myself for all my actions
which make me feeble or depressed
I hate myself for all the inaction
Which makes me suspect myself
I hate myself for all the time
Which I drain to please others
I hate myself for all the drama
Which everyday life uncovers
I hate myself when I waste myself
And dread that my life is a waste
I hate myself when I rely on others
To assist me win life’s race
I hate myself when I can’t muster courage
To fly against the breeze
I hate myself for the life I live
Which I never imagined in dreams

“I hate myself for tasks I fail to do
Which I’d love at the top of stack” – that’s the only thing that grows in my life without any care. If my bank balance would have grown like that! One can only wish.
I know. The lists of tasks that we wish to do is always a long one 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
Now should come the affirmations of gratitude, which are just as plentiful.
I know. There are plenty of things to be grateful for. Thanks Frank!
Now go and make a lists of why you love yourself, smiles ~
I certainly will 🙂 Thanks Kim!
Sorry, Grace!
It’s so depressing but sadly a lot of people go through these feelings of hate and forget to love themselves for the things that are. You’ve captured how they feel well.
Thanks Smitha! It’s not a great feeling to be victimised by these thoughts but unfortunately, we all do!
Vandana you have the sweetest smile and a very understanding nature. Hope you are feeling much better now and this phase has passed.
Thank you so much for your concern and loving words dear. I’m hopeful it shall pass soon 🙂
I know it will. Just hold on and have faith. May God be with you.
I hope so too! Thanks for your wishes 🙂
Sentiments understood. But the path of least resistance, loving thyself, may be well worth your while.
Thanks for reflecting back. I shall keep that in mind 🙂
I think a list like this will not help… a list of things you love would help as well.
Well, I am generally an optimistic person and write a lot about it but some days you are upset about just everything that happens in life… Thanks for your kind suggestion Bjorn!
I know that feeling. Try to be kind to yourself – I love the idea from other commenters of a twin poem with affirmations!
Thanks Claire! It was just one of those days when everything around seems annoying. I know life cannot continue like that and we have to follow the light. Thanks for your words of wisdom 🙂
well.. a list from which we cannt escape..
True Akhila!
Ah, it hurts to read this. So much of who I thought I was, was just wrong, now I am left with a hypocrite, and an idiot, who thought she was smart.
Well, I wouldn’t put it like that..just a passing phase i guess. I’m sure things will improve soon 🙂
Heartfelt, but so sad. I hope you find your own beauty and worth.
Thanks Sarah. It was just one of those moments when nothing seems right. Thanks for your concern and wishes. Have a great weekend!
