PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am so afraid of…everything.

My whole life marked by
my inability to conquer
my limitations.

I’m chained to the bars
of my self-created prison.

They eat away at me
like rusted metal,
eroding my heart slowly.

I’ve become a shadow
of my former self.

A single cross word
breaks me down
into a puzzling mess.

My mind creates
horrible scenarios
to make me feel condemned.

I can’t help thinking
I’ll never escape myself
and these crippling doubts.
