Title: Words spoken by peers.
by Josie from Surrey | in writing, poetry, confessional
My confidence can never say up for long
Soon something always cames to send it crashing down Unexpected, I am affected
By the careless words
They don't mean much, but I am a worrier
Those syllables go round in my head
Tormenting, never relenting
Those words are taunting me
I pretend he loves me
That she thinks I am pretty
That I am talented and famous
My real life makes it too hard to breathe
I can never let my real pain get inside my head
But the hiding is getting heavier on my heart
I trudge through the days
Carrying on just until my life starts
I can't accept this is as good as it gets
But for someone like me this is all that will become
Fleeting moments of naive contentment
Followed always by the all immersing darkness
Of my own self-loathing
One day I might just give in
Let life walk right over me
Let the darkness win
I should be dreading that day
Yet I find myself hoping
Will it be today?
I wrote this afterschool one day.
