Insecure

Poetry----

I am insecure

I am so insecure

insecure of everything in my life,

I am always on a thin line, afraid to slip and get hurt.

My sensitivity gets the best of me and leaves me with familiar tear drops.

I am insecure of my friendships,

afraid of losing friends because I believe am so easily replaceable.

So I try effortlessly to make sure I stay,

to make sure I prove that am worthy.

But why do I have prove that I am worthy?

My insecurity ...

This same insecurity is the reason I scrutinize my body so much,

why my stretch marks are no longer pleasing to the eye,

why my thickness, my curves, and what makes me a woman is seen as too much,

My insecurity is why a little action or word can stick around replaying in my head

and hurting me for so long.

Its why my level of sensitivity is so High.

I am so insecure about who I am

so afraid of not receiving love

I am insecure but am trying to accept and love myself.

I'm on my own journey to self love.

Do not ever let insecurity weigh you down,

you are beautiful, worthy and deserving

and you have to believe that first.
