questions and answers.

questions and answers.

A Poem by caitlin

Why do we tear ourselves up, over the flaws in our speeches?
The weight of our body, 
and our natural imperfections?
 Why do we deny our selves of what society impeaches? 
Why don't we follow our own directions? 
     If I knew the answer, I'd tell you.
I'd tell the whole world what I knew.
The answers too our problems, would be solved.
and all our insecurity's  would be dissolved.
....If I knew the answer.

  The truth is, that we are all, far from perfection.
and few of us can ever really defy our own reflections.
Our past words make us blush.
embarrassing words make us cringe.
but why do we even care enough? 

Not good enough, we say too ourselves.
Not pretty enough, 
or skinny enough,;
not perfect enough. 
We're scared that people will judge us. But they don't know what you go throught.
and they don't fight your battles for you! 

  I'll be honest.
I can find fewer reasons too love myself,
as I can find rhyming words for this next sentence. 
I know ,by now, that I'm babbling.
and your probably quite bord.
but in my FINAL conclusion.
My LAST consolation,
The FINAL words-
that I have too whisper, 
that beauty, self image.
and all those other;
Self made, man made -confidence cripling- DELUSIONS.
Are all in your head.
And if the only answer is being... DEAD?
Then why were we BORN?
We were born...
to be different.
