My backyard

A not-so-structured poem.

~~

I want you to teach me

how to be myself

since the insecurities I hide

have flooded the shelf.


How come I can't take a step forward

without looking back again?

Still stuck in the foreword of my book

- the words I seem to detain.


I judge, I hide

I make mistakes

yet again I hit the brakes.


When will I be bold enough

to call my own bluff?

Let this weary wave wash away,

breathe in a new kind of morality play.


Take a step, take two

I'll make a soldier out of you.

So that lessons spent on me

will reactivate the shell like LSD.
