They’d laugh & joke
Pull my confidence,
I stayed in silence
As self defense.
They took my voice
Unable to speak,
They made me believe
I was born a freak.
With no self-esteem
I’d hide behind my twin,
I’d drown in the crowd
Whilst she would swim.
But then she left
She couldn’t be my speaker,
I never realised
How much I needed her.
Years have passed
And now I hide in isolation
So others don’t notice
I’m just a broken creation.
K
bent and bruised but never broken

Inspiring… From the depths, the darkest places, our true self hides from all their faces, becoming something they’ll never be, becoming someone, they’ll never be.
