Self Criticism

By Iris

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Engulfed in your thoughts Devoured by your fears Nothing is real Nothing is true The happiness forgotten The hopefulness is lost Trapped inside your heart Lost in the hatred Doubt thrives within You struggle to break its grasp So unsure, so scared, so alone Don't really understand Forever thinking about the faults That live within ourselves How do we stop them from winning From burying us alive?
