Repetitive Anguish

anger sprouts without cause, moods turn bitter

emotions feel like ashes sifting, sparking, kindling

no cause for this rage, no reason for the outburst

maybe I'm not as stable as I thought

maybe this patchwork person's seams are stretched too tight

near the breaking point

no reason, or maybe many

so many disappointments, so many times

where my hopes were high

and what I got was so little

all I want is to love and be loved

but I find myself repeating the same phrases and questions I've said before

who could love a fuck up like me?

who could manage to keep me together and still stay sane themselves?

who could really care for this mess I'VE MADE OF MYSELF?

certainly not me. and if you can't love yourself, why should anyone else?
