Self musings are dangerous
they lead only to self criticism
and shame
off-color jokes, red-faced actions
missed chances
all piling up somewhere behind my eyes
where I can still see them happening if I concentrate
but can't stop them
I can think of what I should have done
Should've just left well enough alone, should've shut up
Shouldn't have stopped
then I try to balance it out with self-praise
and pride
Collarbones, battlescars
strong hands
all vying for attention with the torturous images
trying to overcome the shame
but only winning occasionally
but there I go again, thinking too hard, considering too much,
second guessing myself
Things are too much for me to handle sometimes.

I love it! :+fav: I can relate..things can get really hard to handle at times. I like this, I am not much good at free verse poems, I am more of a ryhming poet..but anyway, nice job! ^_^ I like it! :dygel:

No problem! A good way to practice free verse is to just write some prose and then arrange it in a different way. That's how I learned.

Maybe if we add "sticks and stones" to the end of any museing that may be the least offensive.

It's not like I'm a slut
Or that I really like to fuck
I just want every { girl } I see
To walk away with part of me
Until there's nothing left to hold
Until there's nothing left to hate
I appreciate your help
But even you can't save me from myself
:iconkoran17:
Oh. Thanks!
