Sadness

There's something scary about commitment 

Not because I can't commit to them

I'm afraid they can't commit to me

If I open up and show my fleshy parts

They'll run away

I paint myself to seem beautiful

But when you pull the paint away

I am a ripped canvas blank for all to see

A disaster

What about the days I can't bring myself

To get up?

What about the days that I just want to

Give up?

Who could love me at my worst 

When I don't even have a best?

Who could love me

When I can't understand

Loving me at all?
