hands trace this body i refuse to call my own

i don't want this.

i hate feeling every moment of realization

the split where mind meets body

and learn to loath each other

this crease in my form

pins me against myself

and i want to lose

i want this buildup to take me somewhere

flood my anticipation and give me anguish

yet that never happens

i find myself on the outside of victory

trying to look in, see where it went wrong

so i can try and mend before it falls apart

i don't ever get to that point

so i cry

hoping that just enough tears melt away the frustration

i don't want to feel this much longer

why do i give myself when i don't receive what i deserve?

do i not deserve that?

what must i do to earn this fulfillment?

is this all i am worth?

feels like i finished this poem craving more, to actually finish the poem instead of leaving it off at this point. but it highly suits it so it remains this way, wanting to find its end. let's just say it goes with the meaning and how I'm feeling. hope you're living life and finding ways to enjoy it. goodnight dears.
