Please stop hating me

Please stop abusing me

Please stop treating me like I'm not worth a damn

Please stop judging me so harshly

Please stop focusing on my flaws

Please stop. Just stop.

I can't take it anymore.

I know who I am

And that person is beautiful

I know who I am

And that person is smart

I know who I am

And that person is useful

I know who I am

And that person needs love

So

Please stop hating me

Please stop abusing me

Pleas stop treating me like I'm not worth a damn

Please stop judging me so harshly

Please stop focusing on my flaws

Please stop. Just stop.

I can't take it anymore!

Concentrate on the middle paragraph / lines, and know that you have control over what the "self" (your brain) thinks and knows.

great post. xx

I wish I could convince myself that I am. :-(

The first paragraph exactly sums up where my head is at at the moment. Thank you, I needed to hear the second. This will be my new mantra.
Thank you - a great post.

I love it.
I think all of us should print it up and tape it up somewhere where we'll see it everyday.
