(please help me name this.)

I can’t stop falling, even if I could I wouldn’t.

I just need to keep punishing myself, for all my mistakes.

Nowhere near perfection, I’m no bloody saint.

I just want my own easy escape, my personal getaway.

I can’t look into the mirror without filling my eyes with hateful tears.

It’s like I hate what I see, like i wish I wasn’t me.

You’ve seen the way they look at me, the way the snicker and stare.

If you were me you’d know exactly how that feels, exactly why I can’t deal.

Personal Getaway? I name my own work, and I don't really believe in correction or anything like that. Art is what you make of it, not what someone tells you is misspelled or imperfect. Its what you think is perfect that matters, others only comment to correct or judge for self gratification. I guess its like an "I did something today" issue that's self evident. Good luck with naming your work. Cheers, have a good day. :)

I agree with the thought Joshua Randall has for the title being Personal Getaway. I hope you find a title you like for this write soon. Nice write and feeling.

Yes, this kind of emotion means you made the first step to be honest in front of yourslef...You look yourslef into the mirror stright away, even you dont see now the real image of you, but the lost one, but you can find the truth with the time...Just don`t be hard with yourself ...

This is great.
If you can't find a title then just pick random words from the poem, that's what I do. For example: --Falling for all my bloody tears.
--I can't stop punishing the mirror, I wish I wasn't me
--Nowhere near me
