insecure (poem) *comments please :) *
my counsellor asked me to come up with a list of my good points, but i found it really hard. so instead i wrote this poem to express how i felt.
the two colours show the two different 'voices' in the poem
hope u like it!
"INSECURE":
"Curvy body, pretty eyes",
A "cute smile" to hide the lies.
Her "loud laugh" masks the pain,
She's fooled her friends once again.
"She's creative, bubbly and kind",
but negative thoughts are in her mind.
She tries to block them, push them out,
But overhead is a cloud of doubt.
"A loving family, caring friends",
But her self-esteem hits a dead end.
The thought of death sparkles, like a gem,
But she has to hold on, at least for them.
"She's good at her work, her future looks bright",
But she's feeling down and blue tonight.
She writes down the qualities that make her unique,
And now she feels even more like a freak.
"She helps out her friends when they need her the most",
But she can't admit it, doesn't want to boast,
She can't ask for help now the tables have turned,
for fear of losing the control that she's earned.
She wants to get better, she wants to get well,
To find peace and be happy as well.
"She has so many things on her side,
she'd go far if she really tried."
These are all good points, positive things,
They think well of her, her praises they sing.
So why do I find it so hard to see,
that this is what people say about me?
lots of love
