This Knot in My Stomach

This knot in my stomach just won’t go away
That voice in my head is just dying to say
All of those things that I fear they are thinking
And I feel my esteem certainly sinking

Was I a loser or clingy
Or possible both?
In the process did I lose
Those that I love the most?

One has Perfect vision
In hindsight
Did I hurt the ones I love?
I think I might

I was so caught up I didn’t see
The love I was pushing
Right away from me

With those anew I am forever connected
But I did not mean to make those
Who have cared for me
Feel utterly rejected

Forgive me please, for I was blind
I did not mean to betray those of my kind

I hope to say it won’t happen again
And hopefully we can make amends
Because with you, I am forever friends

This is a poem about the shame you feel for leaving your true friends for new ones that may not even like you...I'm sorry (you know who you are).
