The judgemental selves

Don’t let the darkness sink in
Within a blaze of pain and of fire
You will be ridiculed
You feel how we feel

 Hot and yet unbearably cold
With limited sense of remorse
No-one will arrive

You are your own messiah
You are your own
You yourself are your own judge
Your own jury

You are complacent 
Yet you do not know what it means
You are the mask I wear
I fake envisionment 
I fake the trust I put,
Within you

Believe in myself I say
Trust within yourself,
They say!

Do not give in
Within yourself is your own path
Is your own sustenance
Believe in no one

Yet they beg for yours
Do not give in

You are worth,
MORE!!!!
