Poem #37// Flaws

77 5 4
                                        

Pointing out my flaws
Will not make them disappear.
Pointing out my flaws
Will only make them more noticeable.

Pushing me down
Will not build you up.
Pushing me down
Will make me feel small and invisible.

Talking about me
Will not make you feel good.
Talking about me
Will leave me in pieces.

Crumbling me up
Will not help you.
Crumbling me
Will evidently break me.

Helping me
Will not make me like you.
Helping me after you hurt me
Will not leave me hurt, but you.
~a.k.
