Analysis of Hard to face



It’s hard to face myself
Sometimes it’s hard to look at myself
It’s hard for me to admit that I mess up sometimes
It’s hard for me to say that it’s no one’s fault but mine
I miss up sometimes
I admit I’m my own worst enemy at times
I strive for better
Lord knows I want better
I can point a million fingers on why I’m not where I want to be in life but that wouldn’t help me progress in life
It’s hard to face myself
To truly look at myself and to admit I have a lot of work to do
It’s hard to face me but I have to in order to be a better me
It’s time to live a life that creates the better me
I am free but right now it’s hard to face me

Hi guys! My name is Fanshun Curtis. I was born and raised in Houston, TX. I reside in Florida since the end of 2021. I have written 4 books within the time I have been here in Florida. While working full time and writing books; I came across this amazing poetry website and I have always wanted more people to see my work. I have a fun time writing poetry so I decided to enroll in the competitions. Poetry is a passion of mine that I’ve been blessed to have since the age of 6. Anyone who comes across my work, I hope you enjoy it. Instagram: @fanshun more…
