Act I

insecurity kills.

it buries itself deep within your soul and attacks you from the inside

"you'll never be good enough"

"you're too fat, too thin, too ugly"

and you're left stranded at the waves of confidence

afraid to go in because you just might drown

what's the point, anyway

Heaven knows that the water isn't enough to dissolve all your insecurities

and you're just there

nowhere to turn, nowhere to look

insecurity kills.

with a knife as sharp as gossips' words

and poison as deadly as toxic backbiting

you're dead on the inside

you just don't know it.

this is such a true poem and this almost happens to everyone...and then the winners are those who don't take the criticism to their heart and leave it there at the point where it actually started....
