My father once said
that no one would take me
seriously if I didn’t
put myself on the pedestal
that was built upon
confidence and credence.

I have always
been the type of girl
who would put herself
down before hanging herself
up, for everyone to see.

I will continuously
tell myself that I am
not beautiful enough
to be looked at;
that I am that person
who always seems
to be looked over.

I am the shadow,
that will never seem
to reach the direct sunlight.
