Why?
Why do I even try...
Nothing I do is right..
I feel as if im living a lie,
Or simply watching life pass me by. .
I dig deep inside every day to push all the pain away..
Yet still I'm doing something wrong,
I don't belong.
Those I love are the one's that cause the hurt and the pain.
I ask myself "where's the gain?"
Is it truly me that's the toxic flame?
I burn.
I burn what I touch.
I burn what I see.
I burn what I love
And I cant seem to stop burning me.

Very deep poem, my friend. I love how you used the repetition of I burn at the very end. Good job!
