have written I feel angry.
Because you have been
corroded like the inside of
a pipe that has carried the
fluid of life for ages. Your
self-image is so painfully
twisted, so because I love
you, I have taken it upon
myself to set it straight. To
be a glow-in-the-dark brace
to show off at the childish
slumber parties. What does
not occur to me (I am dumb)
is that you might actually
like the pain. So in a selfish
charge I try and shove you
straight. But you cannot go
that way so I am angry at,
not you, not myself, simply
everything. Correct me if I
am wrong. All my midnight
lectures and feverish attempts
and stolen knives, the fresh
bullets I have hidden behind
your back, and your Heroine
replaced with Tylenol so that
I don't lose you. Says you,
what if I don't want to stay?
Says I, I don't goddam care
I need you for my well being.
So now, correct me, is that
so wrong and selfish? I think
that it is. I am no good for you. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 143 [topic] => 23 [informant] => Suz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

I know that feeling so well. It's awful... it's tormenting. This is an amazing write, it's certainly honest. You may be acting out of selfishness, perhaps, but you're still trying to help, the person in question as much as yourself. So you are NOT no good. I know it seems that way, trust me, I do, but for what it's worth, I'm telling you it's not true.
