No Answers

I walk where I dare not pass, 
I stay where I am not welcome,
I talk to those who do not talk back,
I look where I cannot find,
I jump into depths too deep,
I ask where there is no answer,
I stay who I am to be hated,
When I am asked why I am not open,
It's because of the pain it brings me,
When I am asked why I am so mean,
It's because I have never been given kindness,
When you see me you see dark,
When I see me I see distrust,
Why do I try to only get hurt again,
Who I am to who you are,
I asked to be hurt,
You gave me what I asked for.

Great poem and sometimes we choose to be hurt as in some way it makes things feel better? Claire x
