It starts with a laugh,
ends with blood

Everyday it feels like you are trapped in your mind

Dear Insecure Person you are not alone

I dream of a day I don’t have to wake up and put makeup on my face to cover it

Nothing specific to cover eh?

Nothing specific because you want to cover it all

I dream of a day I wake up and don't think back to the scale I weighed myself on last night

I dream of a day where I don’t think people are staring at me, laughing secretly

Where I don’t brand names in my head

Like fat, acne face, weird, gross, unlikable.

Where I don’t break into tears in a public restroom

I dream of a day I can wake up and be me

What does hating yourself feel like?

Like hell

At least that’s what you treat yourself like

I scrub more than just my makeup off at the end of the day

A little piece of my dignity scrapes off with it.

I only have so much

When it's gone, it's gone

So dear inscure person you are not alone

I feel it too

I feel the pain

I feel the hate

Most importantly I feel the misery you endure

Every day that goes bye where you wonder why can't  I be happy

I feel it,

But I can't see it

Being insecure isn't something you show

It's something you feel

Something you hate

Like yourself

Dear Inscure Person I know what I hate about me and now so do you
