"Burning" (Self Esteem and Media Objectification)

Burning

You never asked her what she wanted
She never had the chance to tell you
Now you expect her to shine
When you just dimmed her light

Despite that she tried
Like clay she was molded
'Til she became unrecognizable
to others, and to herself

But the fire in her never died
Her true self hidden deep inside
A fire so bright, feared by night
A guide to those who lost sight

You never asked her what she wanted
But she long stopped waiting for it
Close your eyes, or be blinded
As she blaze with burning light

Thank you so much @mininthecity for your kind words and warm welcome! It encouraged me to post more and work harder on my content. 😊 I checked out your blog too and you post really cool content. Started following you too! Thank you once again 😃

Awesome! There are a lot of amazing Steemians to connect with. I want to post more writing, stories, and high quality blogs when I make time for it. Most days, I share a couple short photo contest posts. It's a quick way to stay involved :)

Yeah I'm planning to join some photo contests myself, seems fun to take a pause and notice some things you wouldn't have paid attention to before. ^^
