Numb in my own pain
May 14, 2018
Some days I wake up
Wanting to stay still
The comfort of my bed beneath me
My head emptier than air
Then I realize I have to move
Get up
Face the world
The things it has to offer me
So many oppurtunities
But yet so many insecurities
Impurities
Never enough these days
Gotta be someone your not
If school didn't have people
I'd be alright but for now
I'm gonna stay in my bed
Numb in my own insecurities

I feel like these days as a teenager we feel pressured to be someone were not, and we shouldn't have to go through this alone. Everyone has their own personal ways to cope with peer pressure, bullying, and reality mine just happens to be poetry.
