Myself

By Kimberly M., Dedham, MA

   



I try to run from myself,

but the distance to run is too great

I try to hide from myself,

but wherever I turn it's myself that I face

So I fall,

aware of myself

and I stay,

full of disgust at my own existence

How can I accept myself,

when people all around me judge me

by the impossible standards that surround me
