Best Self

I am my best self when I am lost and broken

Isolated from the world and left to fend for myself

I do my best work when I feel cornered and threatened

I push myself harder when I am feeling the lowest

I prefer to rise to the challenge and exceed my wildest dreams

I am my best self when I am broken and unhinged

 

I have felt myself wobble and fall into the abysmal of regret

I have watched my gaze wander and turn into mere fantasies

I have felt my knuckles crack every time I have tried to leave

I have felt my back ache every time I tried to hold on

I have learned from the world, that I am as alone as I can be

I have watched the seasons and still embraced the lone wolf

 

I am my best self when the world is rooting against me

I am my best self when I feel the need to rise up

I do my best work when no one else in the world believes

I keep my best gaze when the world keeps turning around

I lose my best sleep when I feel the night calling

I am my best self when I am lost, or when I am with you
