I am trying
but you have tried me
too many times.
I am traumatized
by my tries and
by your lies,
it is becoming more than I can handle.

Past is Not the Past

I know you didn't want to hurt me, but it doesn't make the hurting less.
I know you were trying to protect me, but somehow you left me to be damaged.
I know your intentions were well, but why am I so afraid?
I know this isn't what you wanted, but then goddamn why did you let it happen?

I Can't Be Broken...I Already Tried

It's not easy.
I should have only lasted
a couple of weeks.
I wasn't born strong.
Or maybe I was,
born solid,
but carved weak.
Yet, years later,
I'm still here.
The carvings,
still here.
God knows I have my moments.
I often find myself to be
behind the shavings.
But I guess the sharp edges
couldn't reach the center
because I'm
still here.
