I am evil because I love too much, <br />wanting those I love to keep in touch; <br /> <br />I am evil that I dare to care, <br />evil that I'm always 'there'; <br /> <br />evil. I invite insult; <br />evil; I deserve the hurt. <br /> <br />I am evil that I wish to protect; <br />I am evil that I cannot neglect <br /> <br />the needs, or those I mis-perceive <br />in those who have no need, it seems. <br /> <br />I am evil that I wish to say <br />how much I love someone today. <br /> <br />I am evil if I self-protect <br />with reason, tears or intellect. <br /> <br />I am evil if I should expect <br />love back; for I deserve neglect. <br /> <br />I am evil that I may press on; <br />for evil people should be gone.<br /><br />Tara Sloblock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/evil-33/
