Turmoil

Sometimes, while in despair, 

I think of marrying richer men, 

with an unguided hope that a knight in shining armor 

would hide my insecurities, 

my hollowness, 

my lack of purpose. 

He would hide me.


I want someone to find me pretty, 

but to find the flaws that make me more so. 

But I settle for acceptance. 

I settle and struggle for being viewed as normal by society, 

which I so often think thinks me an idiot.
