why would you want to know me
why would anyone
would really prefer not to know myself even
maybe I don't
people say I was pretty
I know I was smart
I just totally despise myself
and as a result anybody that likes me
"who would want to waste time on a monster like me"

I didn't feel like I got to know you through these few lines. It would've been nice had you dropped the abstraction and masks, letting the real you shine to the forefront. Thank you for entering though
