Caught Between
The truth exists,
but I struggle to accept it.
With clenched fists.
Racing thoughts never quit.
Not so much to others
but solely to myself.
Denial always smothers,
Why must it be hell to prove oneself?
Fear and doubt
take hold of my mind.
Refusing to come out
to myself, refusing to be kind.
I’m caught between
acceptance and self-hate,
Why am I always so mean?
I fear walking into hell’s gate.
