The Impostor

The Impostor

A Poem by Starling

I am desperately trying to craft a person
Only managing to hold my flaws together
And I don't know how to be what I'm not

Holding on to nothing
Empty hands on heavy arms
that only wish to contain

I am desperately trying to give
things I wish I held but don't
in empty hands with heavy arms

They drag me deeper and deeper
like a lead weight, sinking, weeping
And I don't know how to be what I'm not

This is wonderful verse that captures why many have felt were 'flaws' in their lives.
