I WANT TO SHINE ON MY OWN
By: Tyler Ross
I am a vice.
A temporary distraction.
The convenience to your lonely.
Wanted when others seem close.
A prisoner now to my own mental hell.
Shall I shatter my own heart
to remove myself from toxicity?
Or am I wrong for feeling this way
and should just harden my core,
and die kicking and screaming
forevermore?
You think they are selling you truth?
When the fact is
They're selling you out!
I hang my head
so very full of doubt.
So full of doubt.
Help me, someone…
believe I am more than
years being a punching bag
stemmed from hurt,
and a lack of love
by the worst.
