Fuck It!

written by: Sweet Insanity

I can't accept myself for who I am
I expect others to do so,
But I can't, guess I just don't respect myself

I don't give myself the value
That I sometimes think I deserve
I hate myself for not being able
To let go of the little things

I know what my priorities are,
Or better yet what I want them to be
But when I'm in the midst of things
Work always overpowers everything else

I hate how I can't control my emotions
The immense fear I have of failure
How I can never forgive myself for
Any mistakes or shortcomings

I want to be happy more than anything else
I want to accept myself, respect myself
To focus on family and friends and love
To let work just be work and not what defines me

But I'm not sure how
How to get the confidence that I've lost along the way
I don't know how to let go
To say: "Fuck It!" and mean it

This is how I feel right now, actually. It speaks my mind well.

Great job on this =]

Such is life. Continue to write and I'll continue to read and give input. =]

Just noticed the 3rd stanza, 3rd line has a small mistake there with the first 'I'.

Hey I think it's good,
I hope you don't still feel like this

I'm working on it, I'm not there yet, but I'm definitely getting better. I think writing about it and just letting it all out there has really changed my life! Thanks for the concern

You're my fav. writer I've seen on here, and I hope the best for you. Of course, some of the worst things creates some of the best writings. But some of the best inspirations can come from good things as well. =]

Keep writing!
