Image Of Me Poem by Timothy Robledo

A beaten soul, a battered heart.
A fear of never being good enough.
The pain within that no one sees.
The monsters i hide within.
Born a man, beaten down to less then 1. Made to feel worthless,
made to feel dumb. Made to be less then a man.
I fight to break free from what i am.
Yet i feel as though i will never be good enough.
The fear of not being what i want to be is all that i see.
Rage is what comes out of me. I am less then a man.
I am trash, i am something that you pass apon on the streets.
I am nothing that you will ever see.
Cuz in the end i am me.
Someone who was made to feel as tho
they are less then a man i am the scum beneath your feet
