why I am the problem.

Why don't I care for me,
Why do I feel so insignificant,
That I should care for everyone,
but myself

That it's not okay
To only think about me for once.
Why do I always take others into consideration
To the point that it ruins all meetings and conversations for me.
I should be able to be me,
Whatever the fuck that even means.

It's the reason I cannot accept that I'm liked.
That I cannot enjoy hosting a party,
Because I'm a people pleaser
So much that I concider myself nothing.
Worth giving up to save someone else.

Most people please others to feel acknowledged, significant.
I do it because I'll tear myself down if I don't,
And even then I keep doing it. 
Not on purpose, but because it's how my brain is constructed.

Why have I such a hard time, telling others that I feel terrible,
That I panic, but I can't when there's people around.
That my stress stomach ache sucks the life out of me.
Because I'll feel that I'm a burden. Not worth to be helped, and my brain goes completely self destruct. 
I want to be more vulnerable. I just simply can't

It's the same reason I cannot trust my friends
When they say they love me and care for me.
I really want to believe it. I just never have learnt how to. 

I really want to be myself and not burdened anymore
I hope I'll get there, someday
And that I finally accept,
How loved and how awesome I truly am.
