Poetry: Struggle in life

by Michael Mcclure

Created on: May 15, 2008

Pulled apart
From every direction
Everyone
Always wants more
Than what I can give
Nobody cares
No they don't give a damn
What it takes out of me
As long as they get theirs
Why do I do this
Why do I care
Why do I push myself so far that I break
What good am I then
When I'm shattered into a thousand pieces
Again and again I go through this
Never learning from my mistakes
Why do I do this
The answer is so simple
Love and affection are my drugs
To be accepted is my fix
I am nothing more than an approval junkie
And I can't kick the habit
So I go
In search of my fix
And end up
Pulled apart
