Analysis of How



How do I look good.
How am I so stupid.
How can I be interesting enough for people to listen to me.
How can I not be afraid.
How do I be strong.
How do I stop dissapointing people.
How can I comfort you?
How do I convince you I'm right?
How can I be so useless.
How do you see worth in me.
How can I not be a waste of space.
How can I survive.
How can I die without it hurting you?
