Urge
written by: Ifeanyi Sibling
Lately, i seem to care less.
Not because i want to be careless.
Do i need a reason to pursue love,
or should i simply let it be?
One small hurdle and i am done trying.
I am not happy things turned out badly again
I swore i would be careful, yet here i am, waiting for another rain,
for a full cleansing
from the mess i walked into.
Maybe i am not destined to love.
Perhaps love is my undoing.
I act as though i am emotionally steady
Everyone believes i am capable.
I am not so sure.
Maybe i am flawed.
Emotionally immature?
I search my soul for an answer.
