My Heart On My Sleeve Poem by Christopher Julian

I've worn my heart on my sleeve my whole life
Why is it, that it always hurts
I pour emotions out, it seem just for spite
I must hate myself to punish me this way
My whole life and heart are always under the knife
I'll hurt tomorrow because I hurt today
Should I go out cold hearted at night
So the pain won't be there when I wake
Everytime I open my heart
Someone tears it apart
Give me peace, I love too much
And seem to be punished when I love anyone
Shold I be lonely, just push away everyone
A pain so deep, I can't explain
Should I live my life to everyone numb
I'm so tired, I'm so hurt, I'm so in love
I'd rather be hurt and in love
Than to ever live my life as though I am numb
