Little Insecurities-A Poem By Me ;)
Saying I'm not hungry
Just been having a bellyache lately
Hoping I'm getting thinner
But secretly
Feeling scrutinized more and more by society
Watching some guy and his girl
In their own quaint world
Never felt more alone
And it feels like everybody is staring
And they're laughing
I think that's why my mom told me
never to walk next to her
Cause then everybody would see
That I was her girl
I smile sometimes with my teeth
In front of the mirror, just to see
Never been as disappointed before
I even cried
And hit my head against the wall
Laughing with my friend, who just wants to be friends
Realizing my laugh makes me sound retarded
Try not to laugh in public
Cause then my mom will tell me to stop
But only when we're alone
Not allowed to get plastic surgery
Maybe no one else gets
That I need it badly
Just want to fix the mess I was born with
So people can look at me in the eye
And say I'm pretty
Maybe even beautiful
Maybe even stay a little longer
Just to watch me smile
With all my front teeth
And when I'd laugh
They'd say I'm an angel
And maybe the guy I loved would love me
Why do I waste my time dreaming?
Maybe because I'm so desperate
When I express myself
Everyone thinks I want attention
I just realized
Even the closest friends I have used throw knives at my back
Backstabbers, so many of them
And I'm always the stupid target
Cause I'll swoon if anyone wants to be my friend
Maybe my problem with people could be fixed if I was prettier
Maybe I wouldn't have to be rude to cover up how insecure I feel
I want to trust everyone
But God knows I can't
It's just little insecurities
I hope someone
Just one person will get it
And cry while reading this
The way I cried while writing this
