You are misguided in your attempts to make me feel worth it,
Wrong in your belief that I hold any value
I am dark, sad and damaged,
No one wants someone so outspoken and vocal,
I don’t have the grace and poise of others,
I don’t have the looks or good complexion
I am flawed and emotional
I am impatient and stubborn
I don’t take to help very easily and I don’t like showcasing my vulnerabilities
What you see is a flawed individual
I do not need you to take pity on me
