Free Verse Poem: {A story, previously (un)heard of}

July 18, 2023

I longed to tell my story
and share it with the world,
yet I had already read stories
that had better done the job

I wished to bring a difference,
change the world for better,
yet they seemed to be indifferent
when I kept my head up

I desired to achieve
feats, previously unheard of,
stood tall against humiliation
but struggled to find purpose

Now that
every story has been written,
every miracle's been told,
i cannot find the courage
to face the modern world.

It's easy to admit defeat amidst all competitiveness, especially when struggling to be 'authentic' and 'original' enough. Stick to your identity and don't let anyone discourage you. <3
