Shame Filled Nights

Why can't I do anything right?
Why must I always be cast aside?
Why?
Why can't I be truly happy?
Why can't I have someone to call my own,
To hold,
To love,
To share my life with?

Why must I always be the morale support?
Why can't I be supported?
Why can't I open up and let them see the true
Soul that inhabits this grotesque figure?

What is wrong with me?
Why can't I be prettier?
Am I not worthy of love,
Of joy?

Must I always rely on sarcasm to fit in?
Can't someone love me for me?
Can't I let go and burst through this wall
Of insecurity and self-hatred?
Am I always to be held prisoner to my own
Shame?
As many times as I ask myself these questions
I know the answer.
I am not worth the effort of love,
I won't let anyone close with my embarrassment and
Disgrace.
I will never know what it is to have someone love me.
For no one can love someone, such as me.

Wow! I used to feel this way a lot, and then I found out I was no where near as ugly as I'd imagined. I hope you find your way too. Discovering a way to let go of the shame would be a start.

Blessings and light. ◕‿◕
