I’m rather plain,

not smart but not dumb just not a talented girl.

But I used to think

I might have one or two things to offer the world.

I didn’t intend

to let you have so much power over me.

Somehow though,

you slipped into my thoughts rather boldly.

Now I can’t help

but question everything I say and all I do.

I no longer know

what I believe in, what I stand for, or what is true.

We will part now

and if lucky go our separate ways.

Your negative voice

is going to linger in my mind for days.

Shake it off

is so much easier said than done.

Let it go

before I become undone.

I don’t think

there is really a right or wrong.

It takes all

I have to just carry on.

Tucked inside

my bruised heart I carry the blame.

My greatest fear

is that I will not ever be the same.

I used to think

I was a simple girl

who had a thing

or two to offer this world.
