Self-Loathing

I don't care for who I am

And I don't really understand

How my life wound up this bad

How I ended up so sad

Where in time did it all go wrong?

I thought I always was so strong

But I was broke, now nothing remains

But a rotting corpse whose life has been drained

I walk around in a zombie trance

Always afraid to take a chance

Fear of failure and rejection

Turn away from my own reflection

Living flesh but not alive

No one hears my silent cries

Heart of gold encased in stone

Living in this world alone
