I don’t deserve
your heart
so please stop
giving it to me
Wrapped up
so neat
with a stunning
red bow on top
I’m an addict
a thief
I’m a murderer
who watches the world bleed
without a wonder
I’m a black sheep
In a portrait-perfect
family
I’m the air
over a funeral
I’m the casket
six feet deep
and the tears
strolling down
a pink cheek
wetting the soil
beneath
I am
who I am
but what’s worse is that
I sometimes
stare into the mirror
break it
and smile at my reflection
Then I remember
the ways I hurt you
just by
being who I am
and that
hurts me
But I need
to be me
if I want
to be free
So I wonder
if I should leave
without saying
goodbye
But I hate the thought
you might cry
and now I can’t stand
looking you
in the eye
I just want
to be free
Please, stop
loving me
