My mind is blank
I’m disappointed of myself
I’m about to cry my own misery
I expected to be the best, the number one
A special star that shines more than any other star
But I’m dull
I’m less than nothing
I don’t have any light inside me
Even the tiniest stars around me shine
And I, whom supposed to be The Greatest One
Is just another one
Inside my castle I hide myself
What I think, What I feel, What I do
But as nothing gets in, nothing gets out
And in the end, my haven, my shelter
Becomes my prison, my worst nightmare

The author's comments:
I wrote this piece after my teacher showing a couple of videos to me and my class of the Poetry Slam and asking us to write a piece. I didn't want to write one, because I had no idea of what I would write about. Literally, my mind was blank. But my teacher pushed me and pushed me, and then my frustration became this :P. This is my first piece ever, so i hope people like it.
