Inadequate

Inside my mind, innocence is brutally attacked
Nothingness devours my once prominent confidence
Although I seem unchanged, I fall without rescue
Deepest fears become unbearably unhidden
Effortlessly, darkness takes what God hath given
Quietness replaces what was once fervor;
Untangling layers of myself
All is revealed, for all else is taken
The core of who I am is exposed for all to see;
Exposing the truth--I am inadequate

Author notes

I have nothing to say. The poem says it all.

    Incredible writing....

    This is something that I could identify with so much when I was a teenager. For me, it was always about the feeling of inadequacy. I felt it with just about everything at the time. You're a gifted writer.

    Wonderful

    Yes, exactly! The poem does say it all. We are our own worst enemies. "The core of who I am is exposed for all to see; Exposing the truth--I am inadequate."
    A well expressed poem that captured my attention from the very start. "Inside my mind, innocence is brutally attacked." God Bless You and Keep writing.
