Between you and I
was the villain that
I had no idea
how to beat.
The constant self
indulging blame
felt less foreign
for each time I had
convinced myself
to give in.
But that's all it was.
Temptation.
The way I looked,
the I felt, the way
I wanted to respect
myself had no sense
of validation.
I was longing for
the strength I lacked.
Until one day, I
realized that the
villain who stood
between you and I
became the reason
I found strength
within myself.
Sincerely,
Overcoming insecurity.
