When the anxieties of this world

stick to me like a second skin

you are there always hiding.

No matter what I do, you stay

waiting for me to give in.

I cannot hold the past back

it stays like a burr

Irritating.

Making the insecurities inside

glow like fireflies on a summer night.

When will I be able to see the beauty

instead of the blight?
