Starshame

Definition: The feeling of not being good enough even though everyone thinks you are.

Many say that they wish to be like me.

If only they’d see that it’s a mistake,

To see my mind in a constant state of plea.

Sometimes I wonder what else my mind can break.

This starshame that I’ve created myself,

Really continues to divide my mind.

All I can do is reflect on oneself,

But even then I still feel confined.

But like a bright flame you melted the wax,

The worries that clouded my mind all the time,

Maybe with you I can finally relax.

Maybe then I can feel my spirit climb.

I truly do thank you for being there,

I’d never have grown without your care .
