Self Discovery


Discomfort under someone's compliment

I'm pretty sure I don't deserve such words.

Behaving well brings my astonishment

I'm used to doing things alone. It hurts

when I remember life before. Say

something nice and I will treasure it the more

than all the harshness I have felt today

but I don't hug because it hurt before.

I'm dissecting every phrase in case the meaning's bad

and the people I loved most were all aloof

I'm vigilant about your change in mood

in case I get the blame, and that's the truth.

 Don't worry about me, I'm fine right here:

 I am my own worst critic, never fear.
