I'm filled to the brim with insecurities that not even I can take away
you try so hard to make them go away
but despite the compliments, the acknowledgments, and all of the attention
they stay and will never go away
so please, don't look my way.
When you do I over flow
everything I feel grows stronger
my insecurities grow heavier
and I feel the urge to cry.
So please
do not look into my eyes.
Listen, and listen well, for I have something I really really must tell.
They all hurt so bad and weigh me down
so so fast
I hate how you make me feel
you make each and every one grow stronger just with your presence.
It makes me hate you more and more. But at the same time I am forced to love you
you tell me I'm beautiful
make me feel special.
But it dies out eventually right?
So please please please, don't look my way,
because I will break,
each and every ugly side,
you'll see them all and I hate that you make me weak.
So please, don't comfort me when I look down.
And no matter what,
don't listen to a single word that I just said.
-love,
Yourself
