I is for insecure

Location

What is insecurity?
When you can't talk to that boy?
When your afraid to go up on stage?
 
No 
 
It's when you know you can't do it
Because you know your a failure
You know because of the children
 
When you were young
On the playground 
You were the freak
You were the loser
 
You sat alone and played in the dirt
They surround you
Chanting 
Screaming
 
Freak, stupid, loser
But oh there just children
They don't know 
The impact of their words
Can tear someone apart
 
Make them feel worthless
You hear it all the time
Your not worth it
You can't do it
 
And as you grow 
You learn to accept
They're right
 
I don't trust others
I can't speak up 
I am a child 
In an adults world
 
Not to be loved
Not to be cared for
I am only a child.
