Burdened echoes

Burdened echoes

A Poem by BHAGYASHREE
"

This poem talks about the guilt anger revolving around self doubt and inferiority complex.

"
Do they notice the cracks beneath my fragile glow?
Or the way my reflection whispers "no."
Can I match society’s high standards of grace?
Or am I the last one in this race?
Do they see what I hide beneath my skin,
Or is the outside all that matters to them?

Fury bubbles up when they speak my name,
As if beauty is a prize in this twisted game.
Each compliment feels like a sharp disguise,
I wear it like armor while the truth slowly dies.
Here I am trying to adjust myself to look fair,
But all I know is I’m gasping for air.

Guilt lingers like smoke, heavy in the air,
A constant reminder of the burdens I bear.
I ache for the girl who lost her own voice,
Drowning in shadows, with no way to rejoice.
