Which classical character are you?

You are Dido. A strong woman, you can achieve almost anything if you put your mind to it. You inspire loyalty and confidence in others and are generous to those in need. However, you can be overly sensitive and find rejection difficult to handle.

not all alright.

was i coerced into 'growing up' by the situations i was born into?

mistakes-
when you overcome a hurdle, or so you'd think-
they'll come around knocking,
reminding you of your imperfections,
demanding to be dealt with, again.

just finished the last paper of my first year.
this rush of accomplishment overcame me.

nothing lasts forever-
and in my case it has always been this thing called 'happiness'.

haven't you taken enough from me?
have i not proven myself over and over and over again?

when will i be deemed as worthy?
these questions never left.

"i got nothing left inside of my chest"

knee deep .

staring at my fingers- staring at the keyboard.

i do not know what to say.
though i know what i feel.

i can't quite tell you what's it like.
but i know what's it like to be me.

days so long, days so dreary.
this humdrum heart, no longer feels.

for what seems like ages-
perpetually doomed being i suppose.


i tell myself i deserve more.
that i will find him, happiness, clarity.
but the things we tell ourselves can be our truth.

i hold nothing .

annihilated, she tries no more.


that recurring memory, pains.
that pain, consumed her.

i don't know where to go.
i do not know who to turn to. x
