Jocelyn Alfaro Ramirez
has quoted
8 months ago
to insecurity:
if i could step out of my body
and see myself from another view,
would i recognize me?
would i see everything that i think
is so wrong?
(would i see everything that i think
is so unworthy of love?)

but i choke on
self-doubt
Jocelyn Alfaro Ramirez

to anxiety, ii:
you’ve always been good at
choking me
with my own words
but
i am
tired of feeling tired
when i speak
Jocelyn Alfaro Ramirez

to the one i envy:
i pretend you’re perfect,
though recently
i discovered
you’re not.
you see, i have spent so
much time wanting to be you
that it hurts to say
i’ve changed my mind.
(because there are
pieces of me
that i would
really miss.)
Jocelyn Alfaro Ramirez

instead of lowering
my expectations so
i wouldn’t get hurt,
i raised them to what i
have always deserved
Jocelyn Alfaro Ramirez

to the quiet ones
who are afraid
of the sound of
their own voices:
write
and your words will
scream from the page.
(and you will be heard.)
Jocelyn Alfaro Ramirez
has quoted

to the ones who underestimate themselves:
when you finally break the anchor
and remember how it feels to be free,
you will look back and ask
how you ever doubted yourself
when all along
you carried the strength
in your own two palms
Jocelyn Alfaro Ramirez
has quoted

to society:
my whole life i’ve cared too much
what you thought of me
but now i don’t care at all.

i urge my mouth to open
and push the words out.
i have so much to say,
but i choke on
self-doubt.

has quoted
last year
to anxiety:
every conversation i have
becomes your new favorite song
and you play it on repeat,
only pressing pause
once i’ve analyzed every word.
(you’ve made me fear
the sound of my own voice.)
