I Am Loved, Not Hated

Hated, Not, Loved, I am, I can see by the way,
No body would care if I left right now, And don't try and tell me, That isn't true, Because I know that, I am worthless, Don't tell me that, Somebody out there loves me, Because I am fully, aware that, No body does, I know not to be surprised, when I don't find happiness at first, Because, I was a mistake, And, I shouldn't be here, Dont try and say that, I am beautiful, And, I will achieve greatness, Because I know that, What you're saying are all lies, I am I waste of space, And, I am a disappointment, I can hear what you're saying about me, Honesty, I believe you, Now I understand that, Your contentment, Is more important than, my happiness
