The Best Version Of Myself!

liar

By angela hepworthPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Starting today, I will be

the best version of myself!

I will push bad thoughts aside.

I will focus on being kind.

I will focus on being good.

liar

I will mean what I say

and say what I mean!

traitor

bitch

I am confident! I am beautiful

ugly

in my own way!

I am better than who I was yesterday—

I am better than who I was last year!

I am better

garbage

than who I was five years ago, I am better

trash

than any past version of myself—

that must mean something!

And I can be even better—watch me

as I change the world!

idiot

delusional

Hello, you!

fuck you

How are you?

don’t care

Nice to see you!

you wouldn’t care less

if you never saw them again.

Maybe I—

can’t pretend.

Maybe I am—

evil.

yes

Or maybe I am not good or evil—

but human,

and figuring it out

as I go

actor

fraudulent

fake

And maybe that’s okay,

because it has to be.

Maybe I’m—

okay.
