Erasing Yourself - Poem

Here is a poem I wrote that I hope you enjoy. Please stop erasing yourself, you are amazing the way you are xoxo

 

Looking at yourself in the mirror.
The reality is becoming clearer.
Looking at yourself, you feel anger and disgust.
Feeling crushed.

Scratching your face out of photos.
Will I ever learn to love myself?
Can my face be replaced?

I need something satisfying so I can survive.
Looking for that drive.
We are nothing.
Constantly running.

I know you can feel the weight.
Physically no,

Nothing feels real.
Mentally yes,

Everything is steel.

A sense of calm and fear creeping through your body.
A realisation suddenly sparks in your mind.
A defence that we embody.
A civilisation that marks us blind.

We are slowly erasing ourselves.
We are lonely retracing our steps.
Take it from me,
Please stop erasing yourself.
