Falling apart never feels right

It never feels good
It never feels ok

And it hurts
it breaks me up inside
and yet
it brings with it the clarity that only revelations of rock bottom reveal.

Shows me who I really am
not what I have been trying to be

it shows that those who we thought were most troubled, are sometimes those with the most dignity

those that seem to have it together, and never mess up
have it all wrong
fall apart more desperately than most

and crumble into a million pieces
and if anyone cared
they would see a scared little girl

hungering for love
desperate for the most intimate of feelings
trust

and yet totally untrustworthy
broken and ruined

this is what love does to us
it builds us up
and tears us down,

tears a strong woman down into a little girl

a little girl who just wants to run away

away from this life of pain
of unending responsibility
of unrelenting tragedy that befalls my tender heart.
