Someone Like Me

My feelings have been so 

Out of tune lately.

I find myself utterly paranoid over things

 That shouldn't even cross my mind

Important things...

Like you.

I don't know quite why

I don't trust anyone.

I guess I know better than to put faith

In something so unpredictable.

But you...you I'm unfair to

You deserve to be trusted wholly and completely but

Sadly that's an impossible feat.

These unfortunate voices in the back of my mind

Have grasped on to my heart strings

And they're tugging me in all different directions.

They're telling me that this is impossible.

I mean, forget my infinitely deficient self worth.

Forget my own perceptions of my clearly absent beauty.

No, I'm talking us in general.

They remind me of what I have and the ever

Decreasing odds of me keeping what I have.

Seeing as they're against us. 

The odds I mean. 

"What I have".

There I go again, claiming what I've no right to claim.

I don't have anything, not really anyways

I'd like to think you're mine but this

Unofficial capacity keeps me at bay

And keeps you just out of reach 

But I don't blame you...

I know that I wouldn't pick me.

Argue if you'd like but 

you're more strikingly perfect than you can imagine

and I'm... well, me.

So you see? 

They remind me of the certain impossibility 

That makes up you and me

And I know that you deserve more...

I'm sure there are plenty out there for you

Ones prettier or smarter or wittier

Than someone like me.

But what can I say? I'm a fool for love

And I can't help but love you...

So I'll dig my claws into this sinking ship

And pray that we'll some how stay afloat

And that one day we will leave our

 Blissfully broken limbo

And become something real.

Then maybe someone like you

 Will willingly choose

Someone like me...

Thing is, when you have been broken by someone previously , it always makes it harder when you try it with someone else. One thing to remember, never think down about yourself. Self confidence is the key! Nice job Courtney
