Lightweight Champions

I sometimes just think to myself
about all the things I should be,
The things I could be but..
What's going to end up being me?
I'm not sure. 
I'm never sure.
My anxieties eat me alive but I brush 
them off me like they're temporary 
problems or lightweight champions.
I think of my life..
And how its going to be,
I wish and wish for better days
 And every wrong decision I make,
I lose hope.
But hopefully when I'm hoping, 
My hope grows and it shows. 
I just want what I can't have and 
need what I don't need.
I want to be successful and love 
everything I do.
but how? 
How can I...
Its the question I keep stumbling 
upon.
Lately I've been just.. faking who I 
am. 
Keeping everything in.
I can't express what I am or who I 
am without being judged so what's 
the point?
Atleast I can dream.
About my fantasy that might be 
more than closer to reality than I 
think.

I really and truly can relate to this poem. This is an incredible write. I sometimes struggle with not doing what I want to do or being what I want to be because of the fear "what other people think." But I've learned that people are going to talk regardless. So, you're better off being who you are. Live and enjoy life while accomplishing your goals...excellent poem!!! Regards...INK-U-SCRIPT.
