Inadequate

2/24/12 by Rachel Vilencia

I'd let you use me
But I'm all used up
It seems I've lost myself again
To the vain and self served

I had a decent heart once
One that believed in sacrifice
Now it suffers the numbness
Of apathy and rejected love

Your impatience
Insistence
and pride
force me away

You demand attention
Repect
and love
that I can barely find

So now I have only to gather
A way to love myself
Because I find you inadequate
In the most important of ways
