I find myself suspended in time, longing for a sign,
A sign that you'll reassure me of my worthiness.
They say time heals, but it begs the question:
Why do I constantly grapple with my own self-worth?
Within me reside qualities, both dark and light,
A blend of strengths and flaws that shape who I am.
I've made commitments, some I've had to abandon,
Days when I've questioned whether love is a distant dream.
Please, don't rush to label me as a mere mistake,
For I am a complex tapestry of experiences and emotions.
I may have stumbled along the way, made missteps,
But I refuse to be defined by those moments alone.
In the shadows, I confront my inner turmoil,
Wrestling with anxiety's relentless grip on my soul.
I grapple with my own fears, just like anyone else,
Fearing the unknown, yet longing to find inner peace.
I've traversed paths of self-discovery,
Seeking answers within the labyrinth of my past.
In moments of vulnerability, I may appear fragile,
But beneath it all, resilience thrives, awaiting its chance to shine.
Though resentment may knock upon my door,
I am determined not to let it consume my spirit.
My self-confidence may waver at times,
But my devotion to those I love remains steadfast.
I would walk through fire for those dear to me,
Defending them against life's harsh winds.
So, if you attempt to bring me down, know this:
I am no passive participant, but a guardian of my own well-being.
My journey may be paved with thorns and thistles,
And yes, I may stumble and lash out in frustration.
Yet, in the midst of this labyrinth of emotions,
I strive to safeguard the precious fragments of my soul.
I do not dwell in a realm of blind acceptance,
But I am determined to rise above the turbulence.
Though I may feel ensnared by my thoughts at times,
I refuse to be confined by my past, for I am more than the sum of my experiences.
