Bekah 4d
My anxiety is a glass box
From which I watch the world
Pass me by,
A transparent barrier
That holds me prisoner
Day and night.
I see the laughter, joy, and pain,
Of truly living.
Things I long to experience,
But fear I never will.
I often wonder,
Is it still a prison
If the confines
Are the four walls
My mind created?
Bekah Oct 16
It is I who slew the dragon
And I who must be king
The burden of a crown
Is what that night did bring

A knight who was triumphant
And stood on solid ground
Piercing the monster through the heart
Until it made no sound

But in the court of whispers
They laugh behind their hands
For the throne I won with valor,
Is built on shifting sands

It was I who slew the dragon,
And faced the beast alone
The king of fools they call me
But it is I who claimed the throne
Bekah Oct 8
A thousand lifetimes
Inside of ocean blue eyes
That I could drown in
(Haiku)
Bekah Oct 6
My sweet Seraphine,
What have you done
They labeled you a monster
So is that what you’ve become?

I knew your heart was fragile
But it wasn’t made of glass
The icy chill that froze your soul
Surely cannot last

They dimmed the light inside you
When they ****** you to this place
But the flame that burns inside you
Could never be contained

My sweet Seraphine,
In the darkness of the night
The stars will guide you home
For they will be your light
The name Seraphine is derived from the Hebrew language meaning burning ones. Also used to describe celestial beings.

In the end,
It was beautiful
It was mankind
Who made it ugly
Bekah Sep 22
At 16, I was a shadow of myself
A reflection of all my doubts and fears
But now, when I look in the mirror
I see resistance
And a person who faced their demons
I am no longer bound by the bitterness
Fueled by my own insecurity
Gone is the girl who questioned her worth
And in her place stands the woman
Who knows the value of herself
Bekah Sep 21
Lilac fields at rest
Summers eternal embrace
She sleeps gently now
