I wish I felt more comfortable in my own skin

or confident in my capabilities.

I don't know what it is about my brain

that likes to make me feel like shit all the time.

Maybe it's just in my nature to see myself as terrible.

I wish I could rewire my brain myself,

take each cord and put them where they need to go.

I just want to feel like a person

like everyone else

free of judgement from myself

and to be truly free from the cage

I have put myself in.
