I am compulsive.
So once I start
I can’t stop.
Like, I HAVE to
pick
at my skin
when it’s been
broken.
And my stuff,
HAS to be separated
from everyone else’s
in those Wal-Mart
shopping bags.
I am compulsive.
And afraid of failure.
So the behaviors
help
release the
anxiety.
That pent-up
panic.
The constant
waking up
at 4 a.m.
relieves me,
for no other
reason than
I am complusive.
(You think it’s
funny
when I freak out
about grades?)
I am afraid of failure.
(I can’t stop
once I start.)
I am compulsive.
(You think these
scratches are
for show?)
I am afraid of failure.
(You think I can’t
sit still because
I’m bored?)
I am compulsive.
I am compulsive.
(Can’t help myself.)
I am compulsive.
I am compulsive.
( I am afraid of failure.)

Sorry for the long wait~ I'll promise to judge by tomorrow ~ I've been waiting on Dark to give me her two cents ~ She told me earlier~ but there were some additional poems submitted since then. I sent her a message... a few days ago~
If I don't hear from her by Friday I will close and judge then ~ Let me know if you have any problems waiting until then ....
Thanks

lol, and of course, not suprised at your author notes. and exactly, you shouldn't care what people think anyway. But, despight what you feel and say, I do like this very much. Kinda brought me a feeling of deja vu.lol But I don't quite know what I'm talking about as I usually dont. I loved it and enjoyed the read. Ha, it's like when I read your few poems I then know that you still exist on this earth and aliens didn't steal you away and I might actually see you next year in school,lol yeah yeah, when you work with wayne for so long you begin to think this way. I pray that somebody rescues me from him, If I'm not already insane. For insane people often don't know they are insane, so infact I could be insane already.lol And blabbering on and on about it is soooo much fun cuz I am SUPER bored with this summer, and I'm still angry you haven't given me my present yet,lol yeah, I haven't forgotten about that, you aren't off the hook.lol so yeah, I guess i'll just let you go with this ridiculus long comment.lol
Love always
skylar
