PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I may have once wiped you

Clean of your imperfections,

But I cannot say the same about

Mine since they were magnified

As you shined a spotlight on

Every impurity I tried to hide.

Now you have left me alone to

Perform a thorough inspection

Of myself.



So now, I analyze the motives

Behind each decision I’ve made

Against my better judgment and

To make sense of my tendencies.

Next, I begin to draw up a list of

The reasons for my dependency,

To discover why I attach myself  

To others and why I’m so afraid

To be alone.



I realize I’m my own first priority;

I’ve never done anything without

Thinking about what I had to gain

From the situation in the first place

And I don’t know why I am so

Terrified of coming face-to-face

With my fears and of delving deep

Enough to understand why I doubt

My abilities.
