Poem: {Gone}
April 30, 2023
Every ounce of dignity I had left
Was stripped away from me
Layer by layer.
Had I only chosen to be,
Chosen to stay true to the essence of who I really was,
I would have still felt relief.
I crumbled under everything that was forced upon me
and bit by bit I lost myself.
I gave it all away,
To be somebody who I was never meant to be
I'm gone.

This poem is about being yourself... Or more like... The exact opposite. I guess, you could say this poem is about the consequences of NOT staying to true to yourself, which are exactly why you should be yourself in the first place!
