Faceless critics

© aloine-racheal
My mind was tossed into the flames of distraught
I felt as though my heart was as heavy as an anchor
Thrown into the ocean of pain
With nothing to gain
Their words pierced my heart,
And acted as a thorn under my flesh
To my identity, their words was a blemish.
Although I wasn't hurt physically, I couldn't deny It shonned light to my emotional scars
I'm denied of my right
And rotten in their sight.

But I realised the greatest critic I had was me
Because in their words
I found my strength
And learnt to acknowledge myself
A lesson that won't be forgotten.

They were my critics
But a faceless one.
