Secret Veiled Vestal Virgin

I've been feeling a lot of things lately.

But one has been prevailing.


One that may over take all that I feel and do and see.


One that makes me weak and want to cry.


I feel as though Satan may have found the perfect angle at tearing me down to his sadistic level.

And the sad thing is that there may be a half truth in it, in what he says.


He says that I'm inadequate. Inadequate and mediocre. In everything I do, I find that I feel half as good as I can be.

That in everything I do I could be so much better if only I put more work into it.

But I can't put more work into it.

My body is such that I can't.


And I feel as though I am over exaggerating my own weakness.
That I'm not really as fragile as I feel.


But I'm afraid.

I'm afraid to test my strength when so much of it is needed in my school work and school always finds a way to rid me of all my energy.

And yet I cannot do well in school without finding how much strength I have.

Something isn't right. Something isn't working.


I can ignore it. Oh, can I ignore it.

But while I do, I end up doing nothing. I am absolutely not productive at all. I feed my mind with words and worlds and laughs and voices and music.

So many things that don't exist otherwise.

I want to cry with the wanting of it.

My life is a string of moments.

When you look at them all together it is an ugly mess of misshapen things.

Things that you would not want to see ever again.

Things that I have done, but mostly things I have not done.


And then there are these bright shining moments.

But I never made these things happen.

God blessed me with all of my happy moments.

None of them were of my making.

I am ashamed that they were gifts instead of things that I strove to gain.

How can I do Him any good when I am filled with such apathy?

An apathy that lurks beneath the surface of all I do.

I am so talented at pushing things out of my mind.

But they are all the wrong things to ignore.

They are all the things that should occupy my mind the most.


I am so empty.
