And if I should fall

I'm damaged. It may have been obvious from the get go or perhaps no one noticed without me pointing it out, but the view from inside is skewed and often vextatious. So, what I've come to terms with is that I've had these demons, a over critical yet distant mother, a overworked and distant dad, relationships with men and other friends who were disinclined to be receptive to my personality, needs, naivete, whatever; and it's not going to go away. It, being the flawed and repetitive nature of the beast that is within, the one that takes a megaphone and reminds me of the deficiencies that take up the majority of my phyche ; and then, I get my period and everything is okay again.
