Dear Confidence,
I know you are hiding
deep down inside.
There's no reason to be scared
there's no reason to hide.
I need you more than ever
my self esteem is low.
I've been hiding in the dark,
I am a kiss
I am the rain
the knot in my stomach when I step on stage
the words I pen with my own hand
and the rings on the table left behind
by my half-fnished mug of peppermint tea.
When a person looks at themself,
all they see is the skin and all the basic features-
eyes, ears, mouth, hair (or lack thereof).
That's it.
That's all.
And, that mentality in itself is a shame.
I will never be perfect.
I will never be flawlessly beautiful,
Nor unprecedentedly romantic.
I will never dance with stars in my eyes,
And I will always have a reason to apologize.
But among all of this,
How many fake smiles
Have you put on before?
When inside your beating heart
Is broken and torn.
How many tears
Has your pillow held at night?
When you lay there, broken,
V Doubt
O Fills every corner of my mind
I Whispers
I Dark words of unending peril. Failure
I Hope
High school was cruel
I was told I wasnt good enough
I was treated like a fool
Trying lead to failure
No matter what I did,
I couldnt succeed
Until one day, someone told me otherwise
In the path of a deep dark forest,
Fear lost herself,
The twists and turns,
Were as unfamiliar,
As the hills of the terrain,
On the tip of her tongue,
His name hung,
Why does it seem that the world is so naive ?
Sittin back and looking around feeling so deceived
Brought up worring about doing my best
But turning around and only thinking about the rest
Once just a boy
Wretched beast against the foul Earth
Entered a coffee shop, when I was but a cloud of a man
No thoughts, hush hush, chop chop, then
Pencil and paper, whispered to each other
(Total blackness
Then a sudden blinding light
Shining so bright, you wish for darkness
Your stomach begins to force its contents up your esophagus
