My Emotions

My Emotions
(1/8/05)

I cut myself to feel something,
To feel pain,
For I can feel nothing,
When I’m in this state.

I starve myself to feel something,
To feel control,
For I can control nothing,
As everything’s out of reach.

I hurt myself to feel something,
To feel worthless,
For I can feel nothing,
When criticisms overflow.

I deceive myself to feel something,
To feel love,
For I can love nothing,
Not when I can’t love myself.
