I Know

I Know
I know that I am confused
my feelings and emotions seem distant from me.
I know that I care; but my past experiences
have blunted my expression.
I know that I was meant to be more - and I'm not.
I know that I question love or infatuation -
which is which? - where am I?
I know that I am uncertain of your feelings; frustration -
I know that sometimes I wish I could end it all, right now,
but, what if?
I know I'm almost at the end of my rope with frustration,
anger and depression.
I know that my life (or lack of) is tightening that rope.
I know that I am uncertain of everything - even you,
even me, even us.
I know that forever seems to be out reach.
And I know that I don't know why...
