never wanted to be
like this unsociable wretch
who only has
the company of a mirror
to be
under it washing
blooded hands
from murdering emotion
again and again and again
so he didn't
have to look in the mirror
again and find
it was only him,
always

So he stares
at the blood
running down
the sink instead

watching, washing off, this:

-paralyzed by the sight
to be so weak
living in disgraceful
cesspool like
unwelcome emotional
cascade stupid
loneliness
how basic,
how moronic
isolation
in a crowd,
without friends,
one is just so
goddamned
cliché.

This just made me want to weed my lawn, or do something productive. I liked it, and now I'm going to smoke a cigarette. Nice write.

*blink* I just saw some potential in this poem. It will need rehabilitation, but still - I'm surprised.

more than potential; this is so very cleverly, powerfully done. Excellent.
