how can you say you're a strong individual when you're the weakest person you know?
is that self-doubt or just positive feedback for those around you?
when did the train fall of the tracks,
and suddenly you're sinking into an ocean that just...appeared?
you hide behind this mask of hilarity and snarky attitude,
and you pretend that nothing really ever gets to you.
do you even realize just how much actually got to you?
do you realize what brought you to this stage in your life now?
do you remember those long nights,
the dark and silent remnants of a life that was shattered beyond repair,
and you just prayed that you wouldn't wake up to face another day?
the front you put on is the best acting you've ever done.
call it whatever you'd like, a protective mechanism, over-compensation,
maybe on good days call it revitalized confidence,
but deep down you know it's the biggest scam you've ever gotten away with.
you were never great.
it's true, you're at the best you've ever been. but that doesn't mean you're any good.
you'v never been the pretty friend. you've never been the one that brought attraction.
so you sit and hide behind your books and feminism, hoping no one will see how physical- appearance has always been a breaking point in your stumbling confidence.
you may have a direction planned for your life, but you know you probably won't succeed-
and failure is your biggest fear.
have you even stopped to think what might happen if you fail? there's no plan b.
instead of hiding behind facades and masquerade masks of smiles and smirks,
open the real you for the world to read
and they'll be thoroughly surprised
that the girl they're looking at isn't all that she's cracked up to be.
you've got a long way to go to be the reality of the fantasy you've created for yourself.
