i will need to learn
how to stop hurting
over the things
that i will never be
it is hard sometimes
for wounds to heal
when you keep
picking at them
and i am all wounds
and no scars
open and burning
festering with decay
i have tried so hard
to be the type
that is bright
and radiant with light
i never realized
how much i have ached
for something
that cannot be
a life that is spent
wasted on inadequacy
i will never learn
how to be worthy
