PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I know the words by heart,
because I use them as a motto.

"I see your faith lacking"

It's not because I carry it
around on a banner.

It's to caution myself,
from nose diving,

spiraling out of control,
when things don't go right.

When people do not view me,
as I think they should.

I don't think highly of myself.
I consider myself to be average.

My confidence peaked,
cresting higher than it ever had.

Yet it only took one person to do that,
one who wanted to be with me.

Not out of modesty,
but feeling wanted.

Feeling worthy of someone's time
someone's love, someone's life.

And yet I find it hard to handle,

thedifferent styles of rejection.

Not the "No" but the
ignoring.

The "I don't cares."
Being left on the side lines.

In the "group"
but not part of it.

It weakens me,
and tires me.

Taking me back to a place
I don't want to go.

I am happy with where I am,
learning through it all.

I'm not ready for my confidence
to be stolen.
