Dear anyone,

"You will get through it, I swear"

teary eyes and weary lies

Yes, I've made myself aware 

people have to choose to despise 

But now I have seen how they glare

With their intentions so unclear

 

"You should be more confident"

at least that's what everyone said 

Yes, I'll make myself competent

now, I can only feel so mislead 

I understand, they're just optimist 

since when do I lack in prominence?

 

"Why do you get so anxious?"

it's the way people see me 

Yes, I'm making myself captious

Just leave me be, before you decide to flee 

I inspire to be less fractious 

But i'm stuck upside down on a broken axis
