Theory

 
Inflicted need bleeding sorrow
so derelict a feeling, with no way to mend
daisies, no forget me nots

Revealing in the doubt
it cloys with thoughts of bitter honesty
You're not good enough
not pretty enough
not polished and posed

You don't fit

I secure my place with the odd and disjointed
awkward in my presentation
All parts, no sum that adds up
the math is wrong
I am an impossibility

Illogical woman vanity denied
In the scorn brutal truth
I am desire
secrets attack my tenderness
I lack substance

In the external void I am lost
only a theory easily dismissed
