“I am fearful of romantic dinners,
huge crowds, dusk -
of normal things-
afraid to be loved,
the one thing I want most.
Maybe it's because I don't think I deserve it
because I am not that perfect

well manicured and well groomed,
because I have nervous breakdowns,
and take pills,
and keep moving on.”
