Diminishing Self-esteem

by JAMIE   Jun 8, 2006


I know everyone says
I shouldnt beat myself up
Over losing you
But how can I not
This is all my fault
Because I was stupid
And made stupid choices
I chose to cut myself
Now I have to pay
This expensive price
Of now losing you
And these scars I have
I dont want to live
With them anymore
Because I no longer
Have a choice to make
Because of my actions
Why was I so stupid
Why?! Why?! Why?!
Now I have to keep
Being down on myself
For losing such a great guy
The one I love with
All of the tiny broken heart
That I manage to own
Why am I so stupid
So worthless and
Such a complete failure
The one thing I thought
I could change completely
Was my self-esteem
But instead, It diminished away...

    I liked the flow of the poem and the ending. I think this poem did a better job of being descriptive about what led to what and why, though I'm not sure I understand why/how he was driven away by the cutting. In any case, the emotions were very strong, and I liked the repitition of 'why', it seemed very real.
