shadows ~ a poem shadows shadows slipping through the door the entrance to my kingdom my domain my thoughts my mind shadows shadows surr0und1ng me i am 0utnumb3r3d w3@k3n3d 3qu1pp3d with nothing d3f3ns3l3ss my @rm0r discarded just out of reach shadows shadows getting closer they whisper about a vision a vision–of me a better me a prettier me a smarter me a more popular me but–a different me their whispers rise to sh0uts and scr3@ms they pr3y on my insecurities they're hungry for my f13sh i'm 0v3rwh3lm3d and d1s0r13nt3d i scr3@m and fall to the ground as their d@ggers of words p13rc3 through my skin there's no one to save me from this but then–light fills the room so much light, it's blinding and i'm filled, armed with knowledge i know what to say "i am br0k3n" "but i am unique" "and i am beautiful"
Again, another d3pr3ss1ng poem. But a better one than "fine". I hope you enjoyed it, and please know that this is not how I feel right now, I just felt like writing this. Okay, maybe I feel like I'm not good enough. Sometimes. Actually, all the time. #strivingtobeperfect #perfectionist
