PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Day after day in this corner I sit,

Scolding myself for being selfish.

Hour after hour in this corner I sit,

Begging to be let out.



Minute after minute in this corner I sit,

Watching the people I love ignore me.

Second after second in this corner I sit,

Looking for a way to save myself.



The same thing from everyone's mouth,

"You did it so fix it!"

The louder I cry the more ashamed I feel,

I did it but how do I fix it.



Oh self love me again so strong,

Oh self believe me again I beg.

Oh self don't leave me here to die,

Alone in the corner I pray for help.



The corner so dark and hopeless,

Only I sit there in disgrace.

Self, why did you leave me alone?

Please love me again and come home.
