Page Twenty One

I'm losing myself on this one, they tell me they want that 
old me back but I'm not even sure who he is, its hit & 
miss obviously and how ironic is it? So exquisite,  how 
when it rains it pours these war wounds cut me 
deep....I'm good at covering up my own truths so in the 
end I'm subject to my own abuse, I need treatment from 
me because to be honest that's why I'm single not 
because it was them but it actually had everything to do 
with me. The first step in rehab is acceptance and I 
accept who I appear to be, a broken man internally so 
that organ donor, that transfusion was necessary I can 
see straight my vision is still blurry but I can't help it at 
times when it comes to relationships I'm always in a 
hurry even tho I rehearsed to myself be easy, fall back, 
take it slow...but Im a cancer I wear my heart on my 
sleeve I know but I can't and wont let that part of me go, 
to myself I'm still the only one that I have yet to gain the 
strength to say NO...
