But I don't Hate you

I will never understand what makes me a second class human being

What makes my heart so breakable, so fragile in nature

I will never understand why the hammers choose me

Choose to destroy everything I have left

To leave me with pieces to put together

I will never understand why I am so emotional

So annoying and withdrawn

I will never be the man I wish to be

I will never be loved by the man I want to love

I will never learn to be ok with mediocrity

But little by little I will learn to breathe

Again

I wonder how many times I can be struck in the same place before it draws blood

Before the damage is too much

Before I am too far gone

And I hate that this is who I am now

Something wrong with this poem?

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
