Self-Hinder

Sun, 03/17/2019 - 22:05 -- kaylony

I think my biggest fear was to never measure up

After everything accomplished, I still wasn’t enough

Everybody’s watching to see what I become

But I’m stressing under the pressure of being judged

I never understood why life was so tough

Never understood what it meant to endure love

I was always scared for my heart to be touched

So I didn’t give myself a chance to open up

My biggest fear was the fear of my mind itself

I didn’t play correctly all the cards that I was dealt

I was too busy worrying about everybody else

I didn’t take the time to know what I want and felt

Things ease up when you start to accept yourself

When you focus on you, your whole existence will excel

No it’s not selfish to crave self help

Everyone tries to be selfless because they are compelled

It’s not always beneficial to put yourself last

I see presence of that when I look at my past

“You’ll get further and further” says my forecast

“You have bright and sunny days ahead never overcast”
