Tumultuous:Self-Esteem

Expectations brings
about self deprecations,
sometimes I wonder if 
the thoughts running 
through my head are 
my own or somebody 
else’s?

The world lives
in constant turmoil,
waves crashing,
tides swerving in
and out from open-
ended beaches,
abysmal delays of
the lighthouse directory,
guided by supplemental 
shocks of lightening
rays trajectory.

I stand firmly in front
of the baseless sandcastle,
a fragile foundation of
past voices from lurking
shadows who slowly 
poisoned its interior,

lack of motivation,
wandering in between 
spaces incoherently,
my mind in anxiety help-
lessly what I could
not understand,
the words stare back
at me in silence gradually 
suppressing the last 
bit of life found closing
in underneath,

time holds on as
it falls into deep
sleep.
