self destructive

the inability to let go of
your worst moments
inadequacies
humiliations
bad dreams
bad dreams turned real

even when
everything is going well in life

the urge
to introduce
only the most sorrowing part of you

the tendency
to bring up in conversation
the failures, the nadirs
when all is cheerful

the need
to identify
with only the worst part of you

feeling as if
you are not yourself
when you are happy

because
after all
everyone can be happy
only your sorrow
makes you unique
maybe even special

(unknowingly wishing
that like a black spot
on a child's face
it wards off
the evil of jealousies.
brings you love.
because,
it is lonely at the top)
