Destructively Kind
For as long as I can remember, I have felt misplaced
Yearning for acceptance, but also no desire to be embraced
My biggest wish is to give all of me
To empty my heart for all to see
To feel pain and agony
I carry my heart on my sleeve
Exposed, even to those who deceive
Why do I feel so intensely?
Why do I crave misery immensely?
I know I bring happiness to some
I fear my good deeds will come undone
Never satisfied,
Always unjustified.
