Poetry & Self-Awareness

One thing holding me back is fear

I’ve come very near to clear my mind

Sometimes I get left behind

Now I don’t even know how to define myself

Sometimes I confide in myself

Sometimes I decline myself

Then I remember to be kind

I promise myself to find a way

Everyone is telling me it will all be fine

Even when shit is getting out of line

I need to take care of me and mine

But sometimes its hard to align myself

I need to be at peace

But I’m sipping this wine

All by myself

They want me to be there for them

But when I need them I’m all by myself
