Poetry: Being trapped

by Sid de Knees

Lost in yesterday

I think my worries far surpass,
all those at press I recognize,
so much in me from broken love,
has left me full of self despise.

I let old loves destroy the new,
and while I do what use am I,
to say to someone, "I love you",
when truth is I'm afraid to try?

Til I can rectify the, "me",
it seems unwise of me to think,
that falling madly into love,
will sort my issues in a blink.

There is no doubt, "love" was involved,
but I'm a puzzle still unsolved.
