I Think

I think,
therefore I can’t be
anything
that I want to
only hope is 
to scar this
place
with my
tainted, painted
over
self belief
where life
doesn’t
chance
upon my gaze
where
obesity is
security
and
purity is
within, I think

Excellent and the Poem is a Circle. You begin and end with 'I think' Love that. Also I see you delve into the human pschye. I was told a while ago. Don't say No to yourself, there are plenty of other people to do that for you (smile) I live by that and your poem touched on that - gets one to think. Also, we have to continue to upkeep of our faith and root the negative out of our brain before we can achieve anything. Great Write Gareth Looking for more great writes from you... MoonBee
