I should shut my mouth
\nMy compliments are open-handed slaps <\/p>\n
I should close my eyes
\nMy gaze is as a lecherous priest <\/p>\n
I should cover my ears
\nEverything I hear hits me like a mack truck <\/p>\n
I should cut my hands at the wrist
\nMy touch is a pestilence to those I love <\/p>\n
I am disgusting. <\/p>\n
Why do you look at me
\nwith that expectation in your eyes?
\nWhy do you stare at me
\nlike you’re waiting for me to do something brilliant?
\nWhy do you insist that I love myself? <\/p>\n
Go away!
\nLeave me the fuck alone!
\nI don’t want your damn compliments.
\nI don’t want your pseudo-compassion. <\/p>\n
Now look what you’ve made me do.
\nI’ve written this trash
\nthis absolute crap
\nthat will mar this web page
\nelectronic media
\nand will be read
\nby all of those close to me <\/p>\n
It is disgusting. <\/p>\n
I don’t write this for you
\nwhoever you are that is reading this
\nThis isn’t about you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
