In the shadow of doubt, I tread so light,
The whispers of failure, a constant blight.
Each step a question, am I enough?
The path of self-worth, rugged and tough.

Mirrors reflect a face unsure,
A heart that yearns for something pure.
The world’s expectations, a heavy chain,
In the chase for perfection, only pain.

Beneath the stars, I seek solace,
A gentle reminder of my own grace.
Yet still, the fear within me grows,
Unseen battles, nobody knows.

But in each breath, I find a spark,
A reason to rise from the dark.
For though I stumble, I will climb,
In my own way, in my own time.
