Ugly Insecurities
I've been inactive on this site for a while, but not inactive from writing. This is a recent poem I thought I'd share to let people know, no one is perfect, everyone has insecurities and that's okay:
All I do is watch my back
Both literally and figurativelyΒ
Just waiting for an attack
That's looking for something flawed and faulty
One of my ugly insecurities
All I do is fightΒ back
Hating to see the look of pity
I'd spit out words that smack
So they stop feeling smug and witty
Another one of my ugly insecurities
All I do is watch my reflection judge me back
Scrutinizing eyes like I'm filthy
Making me feel so fat
Filling my head with thoughts that built me
Also one of my ugly insecurities
All I see is someone stabbing me in the back
Thinking my friends will betray me
Maybe that's what I lack
Trust in those I hold dearlyΒ
Yet another one of my ugly insecurities
All I do is screamΒ "back!"
Whenever someoneΒ finds a key
To thoughts pitch black
Then act unaffectedly
There's another one of my ugly insecurities
Maybe that's why I watch my back
Scream so they flea
Find dumb comebacks
And in the mirror filthy is all I see
Because I have so many ugly insecurities
