Haibun Free-Style Contest
Sponsor: Scott Thirtyseven
When is my head going to be straight edged? There is so much more to me than my past and my mistakes. I love a lot. I care too much and it always turns against my life, causing tornado's and hurricanes. So...where do I go from here? I'm sorry I can't change what I did. What do I need? What am I needing so badly, I over extend my love and care towards people who don't understand and are not my emotional level? I'm tired of losing people. They run when I cry. Get scared when I feel. They are uncomfortable with my emotions and apparently I can't keep hold of them. I have restricted freedom and they flee as far as they can...
Why am I needy?
My concern runs too deeply,
I cry they depart.
Goodbye..that is all I ever hear,
Uplifted by staples left me in fear.
Inadvertently forgotten without strings attached,
Confused, overwhelmed and inappropriately detached.
Needing attention
Demanding reassurance
Indigent request
