The Cycle

The longing for love

has now passed ,

the numbness hasn't subsided

like I'd promised

myself .


Disappointment is an understatement .


I can't

convince myself to do

better ,

nothing seems

worth it .


When it ends ,

will I ask if my life

had been spent

accordingly ?


Is there hidden

potential

like people say ?


Why must my body

be worth

nothing

to girls ,


My mind

worth

everything

to the system ,


And my emotions

worth

a dime

to society .


Disappointment is an understatement .


I'm not getting

anywhere

like I'd

promised .
