What The Hell Is Wrong With Me?

Because ... honestly ... I'm feeling lost right now ...

What The Hell's Wrong With Me?

When it comes to the heart
I fall way too easily
Give it away too readily
What the hell's wrong with me?

When I gather the pieces
Heart bruised, broken, bloody
Has it always been this fragile?
What the hell's wrong with me?

Damn my passion
Damn my misperception
Damn my impulsiveness
What the hell's wrong with me?

In a world filled with
suspicion, omission, deception and deceit
I'm a patsy
What the hell's wrong with me?

And I'll do it all again next week.

What the hell's wrong with me?

Oh my gawd!!! This is so great! .... I think you stole it right out of my mind...!! LOL

I love the way you have expressed -- wearing your heart on your sleeve --. Very creative and nicely done. I think this really struck a chord with me because it is SO me! And yes, why do we repeat these steps over, and over, and over...... ??

Definitely a favorite... thank you!

I feel this way too! Know that you aren't the only who asks him or herself this question that never seems to be answered. I like how the poem is broken down, and it always returns to that unanswerable question: "What the hell is wrong with me?" It gives it a great movement.

On a personal note, I'm sorry you are feeling this way--I know how miserable it is, especially when it just keeps repeating (kind of like that last line).

It's nice to see this emotional side with a man;). It is real, raw, and I liked
it. I believe we all feel this way, get into a rut where we wonder what the
hell is wrong with us. Thanks also for your review. AD

I like the balance and organization of this poem. You have a talent for expressing your feelings in a precise heartfelt way...love it!

Dear Dagonut...

I like the repeating of the last line...it underscores the point that you are looking at yourself not blaiming the world ( very refreshing btw. lol).
As to the subject matter ...
I just think you are trying too hard. When we let go a bit it sometimes is much easier... So don't go looking for it... it will come in do time... that is my advise...
And...maybe if you can't wait, change your hunting grounds...maybe the game is not up to par for a sensitive dude...huh?

Good luck.
