Confidence

A constant war I have with myself.

I used to have confidence--
a beautiful thing to have,
but depression & anxiety
began blocking my vision.
Making me feel different,
out of place.
It can prove to be disastrous
like having knives
through my heart.

I just wanted to belong,
despite all I'd given up.
O could be phenomenal
if I put my DNA
into everything.
That's what I looked for.
That's what I believed.

I shook myself
free of worry
and began preparing
a strategy to win
against my mind.

It's good to put inner struggles in words I believe. It is sort of release and empowering to be able to put them across. One can better understand what is in the crux of struggling emotions.

I hope you find your confidence back. Keep writing. :)
