I'm at war with myself. A constant battle inside my head. My own worst enemy. Never good enough. Tearing away shreds of any self-accomplishments. All the good intentions never quite fulfilled.
Sat aside. Excuses made. It's myself left to blame. Looking back on what I used to be. I've come so far and now I can see. Pictures faded of what I'm meant to be. It's a stranger that stares back at me. Standard that society sets. Expectations never met. In relation what to believe so many things are so hard to achieve. (Appearing so close, but just out of reach). Despite what you say. All these things I’ll hide away. Harboring thoughts when I wake. Feeling incomplete to face the day. A self-portrayal of what I should be.
It's a stranger that stares back at me. All of this to only better myself. Self-improvement to try and be the best I can be. No more putting things off. Take the steps to become what I want to be.
