Finding myself

Info


Everyone sees her as someone strong

Someone who's capable of anything

A strong and a flawless castle

But in truth brimmed with fragile pillars


She's a star overestimated by most

Yet she's nearing explosion

She's losing her light, turning dull

She's being outshone, overshadowed


She's living in her own world

Alone, naked in the darkness

She had built all the infrastructures

The walls, bridges, and roads


But she's directionally challenged there

Lost in her own world

Blank on where to go

Can't even find the way back


Her confidence gone astray

Concealed her cards on the table

If she could just reveal her weaknesses

Perhaps she would find herself

This is beautiful. About expectations, people imagine life is easy for some people , when they are actually close to breaking . I like the comparison to a sun . it can be really bad for people around when one star person breaks down .

People are scary like that

They'd throw you away as if making you feel special was a mistake.

it's not a bother to be needed

one of the saddest and loneliest feeling in the world is not being needed by anyone

how I wish I could become a child again

there's a time when we and our childhood friends played together for the last time & nobody knew it.
