My Curse

My Curse,
is my Greatest Strength.
The Burden I must bare,
is with me every where.

The Best thing about me,
is one of the things I hate the most.
Why do I have to kill myself?

Everyday this battle I fight,
to keep my self in line.
I see everyone else,
with love in there eyes.
But there is none for me.

I am hungry for it,
and pleading for it.
But it never comes,
and if it did I might not 
be able to eat.

I must Kill my self inside,
to keep myself sane.
I want to feel,
but have nothing I can touch.
I want to dream,
but only nightmares come back,
and forward in time.

Oh I wish
and Oh I plead,
but it seems,
only grief I receive.

My Heart is so big,
and yet I feel so small.
The Curse I have,
I must bare,
hidden from sight.
But I see it all too well.
