From a Bleeding Heart

I'm proud
I'm harsh
I'm mean
I'm selfish
I'm irresponsible
I'm stupid

These are some of the things you've said to me all my life. You never see how hard I try. And I do try, I really do. I think I'm done trying now. I think you have almost finally convinced me that I'm the worst person ever. I guess if I never get married, have a relationship, lose my friends and siblings all because of my horrible self, then I'll learn to live with it. I'll probably just be a missionary or something so as to make the best of my lonely life. Or maybe I'll join the convent, take an oath of poverty, and spend the rest of my lonely life reflecting on how horrible I am as a person.

You almost never have a kind word for me. I never do anything right. You've caused me so much pain that its a surprise that I'm still whole. I've never been weak. Its time to wrap my strength around me like a blanket and hold on tightly to my little patience. Being strong is all I have now, but know that once I leave, I'll never come back.
