Ascent and Descent
We have a tendency to focus on our flaws, despite it being what makes us human; what we despise is what one desires, and what we desire is what someone despises. I felt this way for years; I still do- the perpetuous feeling that I’m horrendous. When I look in my mirror, I don’t see my...

Do I Know You
Do I know you? No. You don’t know me. How can you when I don’t know myself? You know that I’m wearing glasses and have a pimple on my cheek. You know that I smile at the end of your sentences but don’t know that I’m not really listening, only hearing your pauses. ...

Stained Glass Insecurities
I thought I saw the butterflies inked on your skin Flying away Your vial of tears was spilled out on your journal page I couldn't see the words of the letter that you wrote But I'm sure it was filled with nothing but love You had the biggest heart of anyone I ever knew I'm sure...

Premium Member Good Enough
I fear I'm not enough, A young girl's quiet doubt, In this world so big and tough, I wonder what it's all about. I worry I can't measure up, To expectations high and strong, But I'll keep trying, never give up, Even when things seem so wrong. I'll take small steps, one by one, Learning as I go, you'll see, In the end, I'll find...

Premium Member Just Me
In a world that says I must be pretty, I struggle with doubts, it isn't easy. They want me to change, inside and out, But why can't they see what I'm about? I study hard, I do my best, But still, I feel I'm not like the rest. Insecurities fill my mind, Wondering if I'll ever find A way to be just who...

My Insecurities
I just keep faking it. Smiling thinking I'm making it. They all think I'm okay. They all think I'm not insecure. They don't know I'm dying inside. The light they see through me, Is not the same as i see through myself. Even though I tell myself that I'm the most beautiful girl on earth, I know it ain't the truth, I'm just tryna...

My Insecurities
A voice in my head, a constant chatter Doubting my worth, does it really matter? A fear of failure, a fear of the unknown A fear of rejection, feeling alone A fear of being judged, for who I am My insecurities, a never-ending jam But I know deep down, they're not who I am I'll keep pushing through, I'll take a stand I'll...

Insecurities
What actually is a insecurity?" Something that general public regard as an impurity. Such as having too much body hair, Or having a complexion that isn't fair, Or having a big nose, Or wearing some non-trendy clothes. But all this isn't limited to physical appearance, It is also about belonging to a community treated with indifference. It is about not being social enough Not...
