Definition of Terms (the negatives)
Welcome to Wendy’s Dictionary,
where the words are heavy,
the dreams are restless,
and nothing fits inside clean lines.
Here are a few words to get you started;
Overwhelmed Initiator:
One who plans a thousand beginnings,
but drowns before the first word is written.
Paralyzed Dreamer:
A soul stitched with visions,
but too tightly for the wings to unfold.
Aspiring Avoidant:
One who builds ladders to the sky,
then hides in the basement of distraction.
Hope-Drowned Starter:
A heart eager to bloom,
choked by the flood of its own expectations.
Self-Pressured Wanderer:
Someone who draws maps in the sand,
only to be lost before the journey begins.
Vision-Locked Dreamer:
A mind imprisoned by too many open doors,
too many "what ifs" echoing through the hallways.
Overthinker's Paralysis:
The art of thinking so deeply,
that action becomes a forgotten language.
Procrastinator with Potential:
A star waiting to ignite,
stalling in the cold of its own fears.
Burnt-Out Dreamer:
A candle that loved too much to burn slowly.
Paralyzed Idealist:
A believer in better days,
stuck in the quicksand of perfect standards.
Stagnant Creative:
The painter who lost the brush
before finding the canvas.
Demotivated Visionary:
One who sees entire worlds,
but finds their hands too tired to build.
Reluctant Achiever:
A runner at the starting line,
shivering in their own doubt.
Self-Sabotaging Dreamer:
A builder who tears down the house,
before ever living inside it.
In this dictionary,
the ink is messy,
the pages are worn,
and the words often sigh before they speak.
But still — they speak.

Author's note:
Hi!! This is my dictionary of negatives, unlike a normal dictionary that shows you the words and how to spell it, this is just words put together and their meanings, well atleast the way I see them.
This poem kind of follows the one before it, I decided to get super personal this time around, and focused on what you could say are the dark parts I don't always want focus on about myself. Being human means sometimes learning about things you'd rather not dwell on about yourselves and that's what this poem is for me. I combined a few words together and tried to make sense of what goes on from the inside😅 especially the negative parts. So yeah... this is me too💕
