she's not a fan

why so dark
and jaded,
she says in her anonymous
critique
left at the bottom
of a poem.
why the sarcasm,
and humor
about so many things?
what's wrong with
you?
who has hurt you this
deeply
that you strike back so
often
and so hard.
was your mother that bad,
your father
absent?
have you no empathy
towards others,
no heart?
you're a cup half empty
kind of guy,
aren't you?
