My self esteem is shattered, I feel like I'm not good enough and it doesn't matter.
I just swallow my pride and take my shot on the chin.
I feel inadequate again.
Devastation, I'm knocked off center.
Where it was once warm now feels cold and slightly bitter.
The taste all to familiar I dont fight too much this time, I just take it whole.
They say they see me shining but will swear I'm not gold.
I guess not, I guess I flopped.
Maybe I'm just gold plated as they stated.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
