Insecurity

 

“You look beautiful”

My heart doesn’t think it’s true

“Don’t worry about what other people think of you”

I can’t because they made me create this insecurity

 

Reminiscing these tortures

Almost made me give up my existence

All these comments turn my days into scorchers

I don’t seek their forgiveness

 

Big Nose

Cricket Nose

Ugly Nose

 

Those phrases triggers my insecurity to explode

I felt the pain of hearing those shots of words

Each day I try to reload

But the bullying starts to burn

 

Elementary was hell

No one tried to stop it

Their harshness trapped me in a cell

My heart was this close to lit

 

Teenager era began

Year after year more procedures came in

I wanted to stick to this plan

I guess I can call it a win?

 

Now I’m done

Improvements are coming along

I can’t let these comments make me run

Those people are wrong

I am beautiful.

I am a human being

That wants to explore her own beauty and existence.
