~There is no going back once you become self-conscious; once you begin to doubt yourself there is no room for anything else~ Poem, by Jan

When the problem is your mindset,

you don't think of the milestones you can get,

instead you focus on the failures

and issues and problems;

in yourself you can't fix

You start taking extra measures,

precautions, dictations, annotations,

you don't choose you; it's not an option.

she is better, he deserves the promotion,

he is more fitting, give her the standing ovation.

I am nothing; nothing; but a commotion,

I cause problems ,I have no passion.

others driven by determination;

I am but a car parked at its station,

unable to move in fear the world would shout,

if I take the wrong route.

I should stay; it's better that way,

after all,

A parked car cause no problems

On my own,

from school to my home,

safe, comfortable.

On my own,

no surprises will come,

lonely.

Need friends,

but do they need me?

I rather not risk moving,

a parked car isn't doing,

anything worth booing.
