No
No, you may not enter,
Take that how you will,
But I don’t want you near me,
Like a warm broth,
A muggy steam that muddles my mind,
Here is a wall,
A self reflecting mirror,
It will reflect the opposite,
Of me,
Don’t come any closer,
Because you won’t like what you see,
Trust me,
Its not soft or kind,
It is hard and raw,
I am rugged,
I am jagged,
I am broken,
I am incomplete,
You can’t possibly love this,
Don’t tell me you do,
How can you,
When I don’t even love myself,
Not tonight.
