I was birthed into darkness
An aura inside isn't right
I was constructed from darkness
A broken down youth resurrected as a hopeless adult
I am surrounded by my darkness
A spotlight that is a black hole
I join others
Laugh, connect, smiles all around
I have to distance myself
I hide, I cry, I am rude and ungrateful
I have also felt the need to leave
Flying, soaring, far
They clip my wings
Judge, condemn, shame me for 'not putting myself out there'
I'm trying my hardest
To be happy, to enjoy, to find a purpose
the hate drives me back to my place
I cannot leave and I only see darkness on my horizon

I was birthed into darkness

I have to distance myself
I hide, I cry, I am rude and ungrateful
I have also felt the need to leave

To be happy, to enjoy, to find a purpose
the hate drives me back to my place

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoy this next poem. I feel disconnected mentally from a lot who surround me and it gets the best of me sometimes.
