one moment of pleasure
equals one year of pain
what we all strive for
is what will hurt us the most
Do we choose to hurt ourselves?
to an extent, yes
But the people that hurt us
are often the people that love us the most
Whom we love just as much
I want to have the freedom
Of knowing that I can love you
But I cant
Nothing, Noone will allow me to
i suppose i could break these barriers between us
But i know im not ready
You're all i have left
But now, you're already leaving

The more people that I can make EXTREMELY uncomfortable, the better

Hello Love. This reads more like a rhetorical speech than a poem. You open with a premise that never gets realised, then go on to 'chat' in abstractions. It's too vague to capture an outside reader, I think, because you mention 'people' without expanding, apart from telling us what you think of the situation-which is also obscure. I'd rather read a description about what/who made you write this judgement, than what your thoughts are after some event/happening that you're not showing-I'd say, let the reader decide.
