I know deep down that I have a very dark soul
I am branded by everyone everywhere I go
Whenever people they first take a look at me
All they can seem to see is my dual personality
People always like me when I first do arrive
When I leave, they all wish that I were not alive
They do not hate me as much as I hate myself
I do not love myself; how can I love anyone else
As time goes driving by, I know that eventually
I will end up under the grass where I am meant to be

Good morning!
As usual, I always find your work defined with simple and direct language - yet powerful and complex. The title is perfect to your theme. I do hope you have taken poetry liberties here, and truly realize your many gifts. Please keep writing!
Thank you,
