DESTRUCTION

I don’t know why I’m so hard on myself.
I punish me to the extreme.

I despise some things that I say and do
And I fear that I won’t be redeemed.

I apologize for existing
and constantly question my worth.

I think I’m the sole human being
Without any rights on this earth.

I need to be less penalizing,
Let up on the faults that I see

And try to imagine my image
As alright with God….and me.
