Lost in a blink of an eye

Author: Stigma poetry

Another sleepless night

thoughts going through my head

I just need a break, before I break down.

I’m hurting so, not knowing where it hurts.

I hope someday this feeling

Will fade away.

My self worth has been lost on the way

Still searching my name on the self-esteem list

But it never seems to find my name.

The scars are to much to carry

for self-esteem to remember who I am

My scars reminds me of my past

Keeping me from moving forward

It’s like a sword piercing through my heart.

Still fighting my battles

before I find a meaning to life.

All I see in the mirror is a girl

staring right back at me

with a disappointed look on her face

Of who I have become.

Can I change my ways?

Would I ever look pretty?

Lately, I love how I look as

I embrace my insecurities

I feel much confidence in my body.

And those are the words left to be said and heard.
