BITTER IRONY

I may look 12,
but I'm more like 30.
I make love,
but just feel dirty.
I seek pleasure,
but find pain.
I love the sunshine,
but see only rain.
I long for friendship,
but stand alone.
I wander away,
but end up in the same home.
I search for the rainbow,
but there's just black.
I strive for completeness,
but everything I lack.
My glass remains empty,
probably has a hole.
My heart is broken,
I'm missing my soul.
I walk so fast,
but get further away.
I know the right words,
but the opposite I say.
Am I trying too hard?
Thinking too much?
Keep drawing the wrong cards.
In much of a rush?

LOVE ELMO
