Leave Me Be

I can not ever express my feelings

Because of the guilt behind them

I feel so culpable of everything

I'm confused and thinking clearly is hard

That's why this is a freeverse poem

But I truly and profoundly hate myself

I am the manipulator to everyone, including myself

When I'm confused it all goes away when soft delicacy begins to swell

And the bright pink and crimson red begin to appear on soft delicacy

Others, many find this cowardly but its an escape

To the guilt  and lack of any other feelings

I am selfish, even with the pain I endure

Because when you say you understand

You might but not my way. No one understands

No one. We are unique in the pain we endure

So please don't say "I understand"

Because you don't

Now I leave and let it all go because writing this hasn't helped

The coping strategies fail.

All  I think of is the red crimson filling and endeavouring me

I am and deserve all the pain the people of the world have ever beared

Do not pity me ,

But let  me be
