Still Human

Telling myself its ok to be afraid

Once again I've fallen prey
To a struggle with my mind
Its always this way

I will be in a never ending battle
To try and combat negative feelings
Afraid to approach others
Who find my words deceiving

I hate to cower in a corner
Yet, it helps me remain tranquil
To avoid exposing myself
To those I feel aren't my equals

Not because I feel superior
Quite the opposite
I feel as though I lack everything
A complete life made irrelevant

My whole life will be a never ending struggle
Just to do the most mundane of tasks
It makes it easy sometimes
To want to end it in a blood bath

This is another reminder
I'm not perfect
Head buried in the sand
I struggle to work through it

I hate to repeat these kinds of poems
But its whats needed

I'm not a failure
I'm not conceded
I've simply retreated

Unveil the mask
Shed your skin
Embrace failure
Breath it in

At the end of the day....
You're still human

wow.. this is really good. You show how it is for a human. Our fears.. and what it's like when doubt circles us. The feeling of letting others in makes one vulnerable.. it's a frightening experience for sure. I know how that feels..
hmm.. wouldn't it be amazing not to be human? ha ha.. i often think of that.. but alas.. that's only a mere dream..
I love this poem! Well done! ^^ Glad to read more from you.. =)
