A new day, a new beginning.

shadow doubts

she hides so well
behind confidence, just a fabricated mask to
chain the reflecting sins of her heart.

and now, trapped in a self-inflicted prison of
shadow doubts, she tears down her soul,
colour by colour
and watches as the muddled rainbow-remnants slip beyond the drain,

forgotten,

her eyes flood with all the dreams she is forced to leave behind.

A/N. i wish you’d stop.

This poem, written in January of last year, was about a girl in denial. That girl meant – and still does – mean very much to me, although she has chosen to remove herself from my life. Journey on with me as I stumble onto an uncertain path, a new journey, and a new beginning.

I am scared to venture into the unknown.
