Petals In The Grass

Unloved



I dissolve into myself
Trying to exercise
These demons of self-loathing
That were put into place as a child
But only really recognized
As a man
Being unable to love myself
How can I share love with someone else?
The put downs were to much
From the people who were suppose to care
They conquered my self-esteem
I''m confussed about the beatings
That are no more
Except in my nightmares
My memories
And the self-destructive things I do
No one taught me love
How can I teach myself?
A foreign feeling
Stuck with misplaced feelings
