Shadow boxing 1 ((not much of a poem more like a free write for me))
My inner demon is the part of me that stops me from being able to accept the person I am.
I have so many friends that, probably like me more than I like myself.
some qualities I do like
but constantly feeling I'm not as good as I should, or could be.
It's nerve wrecking
Oh i'm always trying to improve myself.
But It sucks to feel guilty when good things happen
Hating the doubt I feel, when knowing, I don't deserve any of it
I'm Hardly ever at my best state
and I'm only worthy of a reward, when I'm actually someone I like being.
It's kinda like anorexia.
Underweight people feeling like they are never thin enough.
I am just never good enough.
I try to fight this by focusing on what I do like about myself.
It is really hard to be realistic and tell myself I am never going to be completely perfect.
But constantly worrying about my inner battles??
Why am i Unable to forget about my minor flaws?
Fuck it all
Im just going to seize the moment
and slowly maybe I'll gain self- acceptance.
If not I'll keep swinging
Until my arms get tired
And I beat the emptiness
There's always time on my side...
Right??
