What Now?

Now I know

Now I see

The child

Who was unhappy

Lethargic

Unmotivated

Cynical

Apathetic

Hateful

I see her now

And I hold her in love

Because it wasn't her fault

My reaction to this world

Is appropriate

My inability to function here

Is appropriate

My debilitation

Has been appropriate

I'm finding my way

To a reality that works for me

But I can only get there

Through loving myself

I am too sensitive for this world

But this world

Creates monsters

I would rather be depressed and debilitated

Than be a monster

My reaction to this world

Is valid and appropriate

And that's what I want everyone to know

Yes

People are truly awful

But this world made them that way

So what the fuck

Do we do now?
