Accepting Reality

Yes my pride grows,
LOLO said this, I ignored.
I remember I had flaws,
Still do, I get bored
After a while, every time 
It grows, Sweet and bitter as lime.

Yes I'm the tumor,
Now I know this, That voice
Has been talking again, not a rumor.
Watched my relationships die, didn't have a choice,
Yes I did, some would argue,
But I'm the tumor, wish I could be You.

Yes I'm lonely, Insecure. Your call.
Have been, still am. I rush 
Into relationships not afraid to fall,
When I do I cry hard, hush!
My brain tells my heart,
You're all alone but I'm here to give you a pat.

Yes, I'm broken. Painful but true.
I know Its me, but I don't know me.
Sometimes it feels like inside me there's two,
Or more, each wants to be free,
That is why I cannot commit to one,
You broken chap, there's nothing new under the sun.

Yes I'm an addict, the weight
Finally lifted. Been searching for a high,
Spiritual and physical, wait, 
There's a price. Depression. Still want to buy?
Reach out for the loose change, I fell for it again.
But hey, an addict doesn't bargain.

Yes, I'm afraid,
Not of the dark, There's no one 
To go home to, not even a maid
To talk my heart-out to, I'm my only fan.
It is the price I have to pay, I know this,
Poor soul, will you ever know peace?

Quite a haunting poem! Love this..." I'm my only fan!" One has to be their only fan first. One of the best poets here told me this simple fact as follows: " you came here to write, not get comments" that is pretty profound, yes? Best wishes from California! Panagiota xx
