&ldquo;Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.&rdquo; <br /> ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

I know you'll never pick me up
as much as you do your bottle.
You'll never need me
as much as your packs of nicotine

You'll never show me as much attention
as you do to the many men that lay in your bed.
I know you'll never love me
as much as the things that kill you.

© Jill H., Pompton Plains, NJ

The one person who's supposed to help me build myself up just lets me tear myself down.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Sorry! I didn't realize that I had already posted a comment already, I guess I didn't see it. Really sorry.

This is sad, but amazingly written. Your poem is full of raw emotion and honesty and full of you. you're a very talented and wonderful person. Never give, because I promise in the end? In the end, it will be worth it. Thank you for being honest and for sharing your poem.

This is sad, but very wonderfully written. The emotions in it were raw and just stirring, if that makes sense. I know things will get better, and know that you're really talented and you're a treasure. Never give up, because in the end it will be worth it. Thank you for sharing this, your wonderful, talentedly written poem.
