Self esteem

I saw myself breaking,
The pressure of being a model.
The wind rushing through my hair.
But, my feelings are bottled.
I can't seem to talk about it.
Or anything else for that matter.
I can't seem to say a word.
my confidence is shattered.
I wasn't always like this,
I was braver, stronger,
But the world beat me down.
Yet, I still held on a little longer.
But it was getting impossible,
Like breathing in tar,
But that's just me,
How's your life been so far?

I saw my self esteem cracking,
It looked like glass shattering,
It's pieces were scattering,
like plates clattering,
My teeth were chattering,
By the end there was a *smattering,
Nothing left for battering,
It didn't look flattering.

Guess whose back? Me!!!
Sorry I have been gone for a while but with lockdown, covid19 and school - I have had a lot of stuff to do. I didn't know if I would've been able to continue with this book because poetry can be hard sometimes, trying to add hidden meanings and all the other technical stuff is quite tasking. I will be updating more often. Hopefully once every week or so but then again no promises. A few Christmas poems are definitely pending because Christmas is my favourite holiday.

This poem is about how people don't realise that even the strongest people can break.

*smattering - a small amount of something
