Poetry: Let me be myself

2 of 9

by B.W. Harold

Created on: October 14, 2009   Last Updated: May 19, 2012

from myself.

Cowering high in this lofty tower, afraid to be myself.

Wounded by slights and poisonous tongues, unsure if I can be myself.

The image in the mirror is so different from how I feel, a stranger to myself.

Will the stranger let me be me?

The question still goes unanswered.
