THE HURTING: the sad impossibility of never disappointing

Connections, short circuits,I have loved, unloved,Floundered, Growing, experience by experience.Unsettled, I have staggered on,Fragile, broken, mending,Fluffing tattered feathers,Shocking,Upsetting,Disturbing the peace.I inspect my heart and findBeauty alongside Ugly.Polishing my sparkle,I seek, grow, heal,Hoping to never displease.I want the impossible.You strike me down,Momentarily blinded by my ugly.I forgive you.I forgive myself.This is my truth.
