change is bad I'll always be the same I'll always feel this way I'm ALL bad if I fail once I'm at the mercy of others I'm defective because I'm different I'm Less-Than I'm stupid I'm too broken I'm too broken to be loved I'm too needy I'm unlovable I'm weak if I can't fix it I'm who others say I am I'm worthless when I'm weak I am Invisible I can't help myself anyway I can make others happy I don't deserve my own kindness I don't deserve respect and love I have to be perfect i should be psychic I should have known i should just be quiet i should only look happy it's selfish to love myself my voice doesn't matter my weight is my worth others' words mean more others should always come first
