They'll never love me

If I show them who I really am,

Allowing them to see inside me

Only to toss me aside like garbage

They'll never love me

I am too weak, too afraid

Of failing and being useless,

Unable to do my purpose

They'll never Love me

I push them away,

And taunt them for their weaknesses

Only so I can hide my own

They'll never love me

I hide behind a broken smile,

Eyes bright with a fake joy

That I wish could be real

They'll never love me

I can barely love myself

My mirror is a torture device,

Placed to tear my soul to pieces

They'll never love me

So long as they have common sense

And see right through my walls

That I so desperately want them to break

They'll never love me

I am a failure, always a failure

Letting them down left and right

Hurting them so much I want to die

They'll never love me

And I'll never blame them

Because how can you love a man

Who doesn't love himself

A mistake
