But she knows she has a curse on her, a curse she cannot win. For if someone gets too close to her the pins stick farther in.

Uncertainty
Uncertainty
What kind of life can this lead?
You're pressing me
You're pushing me
How much longer can I bleed?
Stop using me
Stop wasting me
When will you just accept me?
He's holding me
He's loving me
Why can't I just be me?
Patiently
Patiently
I'm waiting 'till you see
Why can't you finally see?

Very well written. This poem is so intense and yet so simple. It gives the reader (me) a sense of such hopelessness and a feeling of being lost. Good job.
