untitled (I hate you)

              Poem Title: untitled
I hate what I see in the mirror
Chasing down 80 proof fears
With shot glasses of tears
My heart has been aching for years
With all my make up covering me
Inside I feel so ugly
People’s words destroy me
My heart aches to see smiling faces
Of happy people
I’m wondering why joy passed me.
I’m a square peg
Trying to fit into a round hole
Trying to hang on to truths
As they unfold
Me trying to do good
Is getting overrated and kinda old
My faith is failing
Or maybe I’m failing my faith
Either way
I’m insecure of my fate
I made many mistakes
And still making them
