You must admit
I am painfully human
I give my all, but still be humiliated at how little that is
I cannot control my moods,
Or my nervous breakdowns
I am overly human
I feel intensely, or nothing at all
I sometimes feel like I could cry from the beauty of our night sky
But, what is left from my dark times starts to creep in, little poisonous claws
“You are” I am,
I repeat,
“your efforts” my efforts,
“your struggles” my struggles,
“your worth” my worth,
“are nothing” Are-
Oh but I sob to that
And try to fight back
But the feeling lingers,
like the softest words of endearment
