Remorse

I gave too much of myself away

There's a right way to be selfish

I have no idea

Clueless, I do selfish in the wrong ways

In the wrong places

At the wrong times

I just want to vent you know

I know my current condition is largely on me

But I am still struggling to embrace my fate

Sure, most others on earth are worse off than me

But I am not coping
And not coping is not coping

I can't force myself to accept this

I can't deny my feelings

I can't help comparing with others and being disappointed

I can't bring sensitivity to the numb parts

Nor can I kill the sensitive bits

I am a mood ring that can't find my true colour

All I know are the bruises on my heart

This heart stitched onto my sleeve

what a line! And one many of us can relate to as we soul search our true selves. 

This is a powerful piece that allows the reader to consider what is important for each of us. It isn’t always about what makes you hurt, it’s that it makes you hurt. And that is so important to have validated. Your pain
