Anxious thoughts
Jealousy and insecurities
Disobedience because
of fear of pain
I wandered so long
to drift again and again
I walked through the
dark but due
to the darkness in
my head,
I fell in the end.
Now, a thought
appear to my mind.
That the fear of
hurting, became
a way for me
to hurt myself
me even more.
I realized...
There are
more times
that I was hurt
because of
myself,
than because
of other people.
And in the end...
I hold the power
to break myself
or to pull it
together again.
