The Cycle- Sugar and spice and everything nice
February 8, 2015
i pretend i have it
i gloat about it
about all my possessions
to make me feel like i am worth something
to set me apart from the plain sheep
and rise above the heard
or else i deem myself a failure
i am harshest on myself
so i seek success among bleak or
i distract myself
to fill the void
to blind me from the bleak
I cannot be alone with my thoughts
for then i will see
i will be exposed to the harsh reality
my insecurities will dominate
so to numb the pain
its the same old game...(start again from the top^)
