True Self

I cannot hide my true self 
For my true self is who I am 
For who I am is my true self. 

Why must I destroy myself? 
But bleach my body 
Destroying my skin 
Killing of my true self. 

And must I please myself 
Tease myself 
Satisfying myself 
Until it comes down to 
Being myself 
Not fooling myself 
Me. 
Myself and I 
Then to think 
It's better for myself 
No matter what. 
Cheat myself 
Beat myself 
Lie to myself 
But not be myself 
Of whom I am 
And whose I am--- 
It's a sad case 
A sad case indeed 
To not work on myself 
For there to betterment of myself 
And not poison myself 
Until I die and shrink 
Shallow up 
Disappear 
Gone 
Swell up 
Bust right open 
Like a raisin. 
Poof! 
Pow! 
Ssssssss! 
But I got to be true to myself 
For who I am 
And all that I am going to be 
And yet stay true to myself 
For me and nobody 
Else 
Me 
With beautiful self-- 
ME! 
Myself 
My true self 
I love.
