"My Downfall" by *Jewel Fernandez*

My guard is down, yet it stands as solid as a wall of concrete.

I am open, but no on will approach me.

I am alone, here, in my own little world.

I try not to notice the stares of critizism and ridicule.

I try to be oblivious, even when it's clearly obvious.

I stand alone, I stand in protest, I stand in pride.

My glory is over, before it even started.

I'm not the blue eyed girl I once was.

My ego soars, and will remain unblemished.

No one can touch my spirit, and walk away unscathed.

What they say will come back to haunt them.

To mutate their shadows into something gone awry.

The wind blows my way, from the place that I once came.

The flame that beckons, will eventually recieve.

The seas of my emotions, often try to drown me.

The earth meets my gaze, every time I step outside.

My temper starts to boil, bubbling over and out of control.

All the others resent me, for being who I am.

Some day I'll meet my downfall, but that day has yet to come.

I sit and wait.



That was something I wrote after a REALLY HORRIBLE day at school. I feel better now that I have shared it with some friends. Hope you liked it. Huggs! Blessed be! *Jewel Fernandez*
