Shred it
Shed it
Peel it back
Layers upon layers Of
Self hatred and proclamations of defeat
She lies beneath
The temptation and slow exhaustion and insecurities
The blurry eyes that can’t see past the blinding tears.
Flying fabrics and a obscenities.
Panic-beating heart.
Anxious and afraid.
Go find her.
She’s waiting.
Calmly and brave.
Deep breaths. Steady.
Put together and ready.
The clear path awaits.
Try harder. Go faster.
Gain confidence. Wake up. Don’t give in.
She can and she will.
Overcome And find the love within.
