PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Im biting my nails

so scared i might fail

cracking my knuckles

whiel the world chuckles

I can't tell you that I'm scared

we all know the world isnt fair

so how do I tell you i feel so alone

but I still want to be on my own

I like it his way, this constant battle

this uncaring pressure, pretend I can handle

I attempt to protect myself

against everyone else,

from the people down the hall

from the one and the all

from whomever I can

protected from the mess I am.
