Worst Enemy

My worst enemy is...

Myself

I think the worst of everything...

I judge myself...

I question everything I do...

I wonder, is this the right thing to do?

I try to do everything perfectly...

I try to do what everyone asks...

 

But in my head, this is what happens

I want them to like me, and I want them to need me

I must be precise 

I don't want to be wrong or bad

To make sure I'm doing it right

I want people to like me, so I have to be more like them

I do it to keep me safe

 

But...

I'm just human...

I'm not perfect...

I can't control everything...

I should do what makes ME happy, not what others say I should do.

I should listen to my heart more than my mind.

    People judge them...

    You try to hide them...

    But...

    They are just a reminder that you are strong...

    You can do anything you put your mind to...

    You might get hurt...but you will be okay...

  • Hidden

    Hidden in the shadows 

    Not sure where to go

    I get lost at every turn I take

    I look for the people I know but their faces are all blurry, I can't recognize anyone...

    Hidden in the shadows

  • Why I hate school :)

    I have this teacher...

    This teacher is rude and sexist 

    They get mad if you don't know the answer to something that they haven't explained yet...

    They never get mad at certain students, they have favorites...
