The Judgment Within
By Sophia Simpson
Outside pressures:
Ridicule
Sabotage
Harassment
Inside pressures:
Despair
Doubt
Worthlessness
Weight from
Both sides
Of the skin
Pressing together
Making it
Impossible
To Breathe,
To Live
Separate the
Emotional boulders
Pressing in.
Dismantle them
Outside factors
Can destroy.
But nothing is tougher
Than the judgment within.
Sophia Simpson is starting over.
