Jenna Wallace Poet Quatrain

Wounded From the Beginning

I've carried this burden for as long as I've known
It has sucked the life out of me and created a clone
Someone I don't recognize in the mirror
Even though the reflection couldn't be much clearer

You see my eyes are empty
Hollow holes that once had a path to follow
Well, I was cheated
Horrible neglected and mistreated

I gave everything I had when that wasn't my role
It was all I knew and in a way it made me feel whole
I felt worthy of something that should just be given
But I was never destined for love even if I was driven

I later found out it wasn't my issue at all
They just had no more love to withdrawal
I was skipped, forgotten, left out
But who am I kidding I've always had this turn out

"Your existence is just too much to bare"
Even though I just want to help and share
I've come to the conclusion I'm wrecked
Incapable of loving another suspect

I find it too painful to even try
And how would I function at this point without the bad guy
Maybe one day I'll figure out what would be
But for now I'm just spending time on me
