A Childish Memory

May 25, 2013
Ten years old I didn't have a worry in the world Eight years later the world is weighing me down I didn't do this right. I could be doing better. I'm selfish. I yell and scream. I can't control it when frustration takes over. My insecurities have a lion's grasb upon me I tried running. I tried facing the inner demons. They reappear from thin air. Look in the mirror, You may not see fat, But I do. I see the unattractive rolls A guy passes by and winks at the girl next to me. Day by day Month by month Nobody understands Why I lie down and cry It's no big deal they say. What they don't know Is I'm pushing and pulling myself apart. It's not what I do that's the problem It's me. It's always me. Ten years old I was a kid Naive Now it's only a faded memory
