Insecurities

Photo by Mehmet Turgut Kirkgoz

I don’t know how to tell myself “no”,

So, I let petty things and jewelry distract me.

I’m nothing but a price tag myself,

And I worry my small problems will one day attack me.

I demonize those who do better,

I root for their downfall while inhaling fumes.

They probably feel how insecure I am.

They don’t want me to stay in the room.

Still, revenge is the one thing that drives me,

And if I don’t feel it, I don’t feel at all.

My lack of self-control controls me.

I’m scared that one day it will tell me to crawl.
