self esteem

to be inside
this blank
adolescence
this labyrinth
of intense
insecurity
is like
disrobing
in front
of every one
of the
captors

raptors
with claws
and wide open jaws

placing
a toe
in confidence
to
always
be
scolded
scalded
by
the
authors
of
authority
that
settles
like a fog
over life
in a cube
