Punishing Myself
I decided to punish myself
So I took away painting
I would not allow myself to dance a step
I wished I had another leg
With a third leg I could perpetually kick myself.
I deserve whatever happens I told myself
Angry that I had made the mistake
Wishing I had longer arms
SoI could stab myself in the back
