What Is Wrong With Me?

What Is Wrong With Me?

A Poem by Shelby

Why are my decisions

Always wrong?

Why,

When I believe I am making the choice

That is right for everyone,

Does it all fall

To pieces before my eyes?

I must be broken

To cause so much pain

There must be something wrong

With me

To somehow forever be the origin

Of unimaginable hurt

To anyone I touch.

What inside

Has been tarnished,

What common sense rusted away

To be the foundation

Of ruin?

It must be my hereditary curse

To make the worst snap decision

At every crossroads.

All I’ve ever done is try to be

A good daughter,

Sister,

Friend,

Coworker,

Student,

The best in every relationship,

But all I’ve ever achieved is

Disappointment.

And now I wonder

What is wrong with me?

i'm quite familiar with this genre of poems and this feeling of self doubt..every now and when things go wrong we can't help but wonder whats wrong with us..the sadness and confusion of those moments are beautifully brought out..well done
