Poem: Screw Up

Posted byDevin HoggPosted inPoetryTags:, , , ,

Heart clenched
Tears fill my eyes
Throat swells.
I can’t breathe
Gut tied in knots.
How do I keep
Trying and failing
Always screwing up
Always failing short?
How
Oh how
Is anyone
Ever going to be able
To love me?
So imperfect
So foolish
So idiotic.
I long so much
To not feel this pain.
To not be so alone
To have someone
To hold me tight
To remind of the light.
But for now
All I see is darkness.
My great fear
Is that all
I will ever see
Is darkness
Forevermore.
All I will ever be
Is forever alone.
