At this time,
at this place
there exists a pinching disconnectedness
caused by your midnight insecurities
So, when caught between a rock and a hard place,
flesh grates sandpaper,
sandpaper grates flesh,
making my naked ego
Tender
And
Raw
But my convoluted nerves don’t give in and
I fail to respond appropriately
(appropriately for how you wish:
hurt)
This is it.
I am deleting your spam
and finally standing up for myself
Author notes
I find it extremely important for everyone to be able to stand up for themselves, especially the ladies. Please allow yourselves to do so because you're worth more than someone else's insecurities.
