Dear insecurities,
I can never win, can I?
You can never let me be,
At peace,
With myself.
Always there to remind me that I won’t ever be
good enough, even if I try.
That I won’t ever be beautiful,
That I won’t ever be funny,
That I won’t ever be loved.
That I won’t ever be smart enough.
You’re always there,
Waiting patiently,
Preying on my insecurities,
Wanting to bring me down,
It’s like you don’t want to see me succeed.
Dear insecurities,
Why do you always feed me the forbidden fruit.
Self doubt.
Why can’t you let me breathe?
Why can’t you let me live in peace?
Dear insecurities,
I wish you could let me live my life.
Pointing out my every flaw.
Snatching at my every insecurity.
Blocking me from my blessings.
Why do you have this much control over me?
Spend a day in my shoes for once.
Dear insecurities,
Why are you always here
Whispering inside my head,
Ready
To tell me that I’m not good enough?
Ready
To put me down before I even open my
Eyes.
Why can’t you just let me live in peace?
Dear insecurities,
When will I be free from your prison?
Free from self-doubt.
You lead me towards self-sabotage.
Unprovoked.
I deserve better.
When will I be free?
Dear insecurities,
I feel trapped in my mind,
because of you.
Everyday you consume my thoughts,
and fill me with lies.
You’re not worthy.
You’re not enough.
You’re not capable.
You’re not loveable.
You will not succeed.
These are lies that drive my day,
Front seat.
Lies that you’ve made me believe.
Dear insecurities,
Enough is enough.
I’m tired of the lies.
I’m breaking out of your chains.
I am not your prisoner.
I shall not yield.
I am who I am.
I am trying my best.
I will continue to try my best.
I am me, myself and I.
The best I can be is myself.
