Tobestrong // Lost:Ode to Insanity

People say I’m lucky. I don’t know whether that’s true.
People say I’m strong - tough as nails, unbreakable like steel.
But -
I’m unsure if that holds true.

I’m scared, and I hide beneath my smiles -
I fear of the uncertain future,
Of things left unsaid -
And I cower underneath my mask.

I scoff at the words ‘You’re fearless, so certain - ‘
Because how can the future be certain
When change is the only thing that is
constant in this cruel world?



My heart is clouded -
Quivering -
Shaken -
Troubled.

The path before me -
Before so clear, and yet now -
Blurry, and I cannot see
Blinded, my eyes are and -

I quail at taking a step,
My heart trembles like
A newborn unaccustomed
To the darkness.

‘Coward,’ the darkness whisper -
‘Fool,’ my heart answers and yet
I take a step back
Trying to escape.

Not a NaNoWriMo piece, but tell me what you think?
Of course, its a bit related to stuff happening IRL -
...but I'm fine, so don't worry.
This is a way for me to destress and take out
all my negative feelings. NEGAVERSE ATTACK!
