Confidence- Repercussions

Confidence- Repercussions

A Poem by Hunter Zabbai

emptiness
Calm down just for a minute
And recollect the way you been living
With these fears and these thoughts
Of what you've been missing
The people the places the times the faces
all these memories you can't erase em
no matter how you try
the emptiness makes you wanna die
fulfillment at your own cost
if you think you're own your own
a million miles from home
feeling out of place for moving forward
take control, don't be a coward
there's no way you can go downward
from how deep you've sunk
into this world of junk
confidence
material possessions are your source
of recollection, and affection
never shows itself anymore
hiding behind a bolted/locked door
that face of irony lurking behind me
sardonic feelings met with foolish pleasures
isn't everyone looking for the same buried treasure?
how can you measure another mans worth,
when your sense of self is at it's worst?
there's gotta be some hope at the end of the road
i can't live like this, all alone
loneliness
if you think you're own your own
a million miles from home
feeling out of place for moving forward
take control, don't be a coward
there's no way you can go downward
from how deep you've sunk
into this world of junk
sadness
but when it comes down to it
i guess i've remained truthful
to myself, my friends, and my family
i've never let anyone mend me
i'm the person that I am today
and this thought alone gives me hope to say
maybe i'll make it out alive
maybe i'll slow down and take the time
to enjoy everything i've taken for granted
in this life that i've wasted
being myself, and shutting the world out
but my confidence has left me with a sense of doubt
about being on my own, on the road
no sense of home, just feeling alone
confidence can't be your best friend
but i guess we're all alone in the end.
repercussions
if you think you're own your own
a million miles from home
feeling out of place for moving forward
take control, don't be a coward
there's no way you can go downward
from how deep you've sunk
into this world of junk
is that a light at the end of the tunnel?
or a strong force that i cannot pummel?
am i strong enough to withstand the storm?
or will i regret myself ever being born?
