I Fight Certain Parts of Myself

Poem 14 from my chapbook "As Glamorous as a Kidney"

By TestPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I can be a bastard.

I can be a piece of shit.

I can be a combative little devil.

I can be a pervert.

I can be a shadow.

I can be a drunk moron.

I can be a destructive child.

{

I don’t pretend to be a good

Person.

I am a good person who can be

Corrupted.

{

My corruptions get the best of me

At times but I never act as if

They are not there.

{

While I hide those sides of me

To find they’ll find a way to

Surface

I do my best to bury them

While understanding why they are

Still rising and what I can do

To scratch them out.
