Yourself.

“You’re not good enough”
Is the one sentence you should
Never tell yourself.
Hi. I’ve been struggling with this my whole life. It’s like I’ll never be able to convince myself. I feel like my poetry is at a decline. I feel as if nothing I write is good. I couldn’t tell you the amount of “drafts” &  private poems I have on here just because I’m afraid.
Afraid of ridicule.
Afraid of hating myself more.
Afraid of everything.

I don’t want to remember
When you said you’d stay
Yet you failed to
I don’t want to remember
When you said I was special
Yet left at the first occasion
Please don’t come near
Only to push me far
  Don’t talk to me
     To then hush me
I was made to carry the gift of life
To be strong and move mountains
I was not made to wait for you
To cry for you, to die for you.
You’re mistaken
      if you think I’ll play your game
Thought I was a pawn;
  But soon you’ll see
      You messed with the Queen.

Don’t let your crown fall
I gave you all of my trust,
and what I got in return was a slap to the face.
You convinced me that you were fine taking things at my pace.
You convinced me to go back to your place.
Where my soft skin with your soft fingers you would trace.
You happily took me in your embrace.
And now I can’t seem to erase...
your face.
Vulnerability.

Don't tell me I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm passionate
That I have drive
Tell me that I make you laugh
That I know how to make your day better
Don't tell me I seem nice
Tell me that I'm kind and compassionate
Tell me that I'm not afraid to dream and to dream big
Don't tell me I'm perfect
Tell me the you love me despite my flaws
That you want to spend the rest of your life with me
Don't tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me that you'll be faithful and forever true

I can be your gentle breeze,
I can be your worst storm.
I can be unpleasant sometimes,
But you gotta love me in every form.

The ones who always leave me
are the ones I want to stay
The ones who care so deeply
are the ones I push away

i know you are right for me
i feel it deep within my soul
all it takes is your voice
to bring me back up to earth
from the hell within my mind
