My Inadequacies

Seriously, what's wrong with you?

 

What happened to the man who did not let words phase him

 

Or be brought down by an insignificant slur?

 

The man who bottled everything

 

and wrapped that bottle with the toughest steel.

 

The man who saw the light at the end of every tunnel,

 

Who smiled at everyone he meets,

 

Who saw the best in every single person,

 

Who believed in chivalry and love at first sight

 

Is he still there?

 

Did that bottle break?

 

Or is not dating a woman killing you?

 

Do you miss her touch?

 

Do the words of people who don't know you get in you skin?

 

Why don't you listen to the ones that care?

 

Stand up,

 

Speak up,

 

And believe,

 

Those are the words you once stood for ever so vehemently  

 

Open your eyes and gaze at all these questions

 

It's about time you answered them.
