Reading Between the Lines- A Slam Poem

I became cocky and bold,

AM i not worth my weight in gold?

“No”T he world said, as I began

SEEKING more than I could hand-le

A precipice. I fell so quickly

FRIEND-s, I am sorry

, BUT it is me, you see, for

MY lack of introspection has led to

SELF-degradation, and a loss of…

my heart and mind …hardening

It is time I stop ignoring,

months of emotional baggage,

for you see,

In the end,


I am not seeking a friend, but my Self.
