Cracking, crying.
Reeking of many failures
Tasting the bitterness of shame and fear
i wish i could say it has been a while
since You wrestled me with cuffs and chains
and hanged me by my restless heart.
sometimes i try to forget about You
What I fear most in life is failure,
I mean nobody likes the taste of defeat.
But I was never outspoken when I was young,
So I was always quite discreet.
There were times when I would procrastinate,
Fear.
A gentle breeze stings.
Failure whispers into your ears.
Hiding is the only peace.
Hiding stops the wind.
Stop.
Stop your hiding.
Rise to challenge the wind
The wind will blow back.
It doesn’t matter if you have blemishes from those who’ve shaped you;
you are beautiful- lean and tall,
getting thicker as my eyes travel down.
