I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid.
I can't do anything right. I can't do anything right.
I'm a liar and a thief. I'm a liar and a thief.
I'm a bad person. I'm a bad person.

Lotus posture on the bathroom floor, hitting herself hard in the temples with both fists.
Repeating horrible things which I've said to her in anger, or her parents have said to her, or her sisters, or her former lovers.

I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid.
I can't do anything right. I can't do anything right.
I'm a liar and a thief. I'm a liar and a thief.
I'm a bad person. I'm a bad person.
