chest compress

false confidence

doubt supreme

mind freeze

shallow laugh

pointed pity

self invitation

naive display

slim success

sleepless nights

consistent sabotage

loser

relegated to unique

misunderstood

searching for love

the darkness dissipates

know thyself

when futility finds a home

perseverance a secret weapon

nothing for not

except acceptance of lies

a tornado of self doubt

to each their own demons
