I used to be so confident
or rather I used to mask my confidence so well it fooled everybody
Now..
Now I’m left with self doubt
I am left in my feeling 24/7
the girl who was once so brave and on top is suddenly so timid and hidden
It used to be so easy to hide my flaws
I would go out with a bright smile and nobody knew the havoc that was running through me.
I had a routine you see,
shine bright and showcase my smile all day and then cry myself to sleep
easy right?
But then,
My smile faded and my tears ran out.
I was left blank and insecure…
I started binging on lies of what I thought people saw when they looked at me
I chased after the wrong things cause in a weird way they made me feel seen…

- Comment from author about the poem: If you have some unspoken words or even words you ‘d want to take off your chest and wouldn’t mind sharing them to what I wrote that would be lovely… And remember you are loved, you are special, you are wonderful, and you are kind and smart and seen by God. And even though it might not feel like that at times. God loves you, always remember that.
