This is not a poem

Through the depths of my pain and self-hate I finally understood There is no such thing as a future self In fact any future self that I saw was just another construct I wanted to get away from. Holding myself to those unrealistic standards Only to realize I’m back in self hate. What a cycle this is. Well what does it mean to love oneself? To accept myself as I am now? All the parts that are screaming at me? What about my future self? It turns out they do not exist. Well that’s not a bad thing. You know why? Because everything you are, future, present, past everything beautiful Exists right now.
