Fear

A Poem by Tay

My insecurities run deeper than 10 oceans,
grow larger than 50 skyscrapers.
I couldn't tell you why,
but I'm trying and so are you.
I want to believe you,
when you tell me not to think the thoughts
coursing through my brain everyday.
It hurts when I know I might be wrong,
but I can't believe my thoughts are anything but right.
You deserve so much better;
better than my doubt
my anger
my anything.
Grand wishes can only compare to what I hope for.
I want to be free,
but for fears of worthlessness,
I stay where I belong.
Why can't you see, you deserve better.
Better than me.
