Belief In Me
Poet Q
We are not the same
I am not you
and you are not me
but I am judged
you are my executioner
for every day
you kill a little more of me
deeply inside
I hide
physically you unburied me
but mentally
i'm tucked away
cocooned by self-hatred
wishing my self-esteem
could just grow
but someone has cut
every ounce of faith from the roots
I run
far away but your words
move faster than I can neglect them
they stick to me
I hear them
repeatedly
I was told it built character
such a foolish belief
I have no basis
so I flow with streams
you said it's constructive
I find every second destructive
I rage at myself
"Why couldn't I be perfect"
The litter refused to be picked
A conjecture created by me
A self belief
taught from someone
Who wasn't me.
