Insecurities

by Deannab860

I do something small

And it turns into an elephant sitting on my head

These words I hear

A hammer beating me down

I don't like myself

My insecurities screaming so loud

Nobody likes you

Nobody cares

You smile so kindly

Someone has to be there

I beat myself for making a mistake

Things will be better

Tomorrow is another day

These dark thoughts turning in my head

They are stuck with me from the time I get up

To when I go to bed

I smile and I laugh

But is it all real

What the heck is this emotion I can't help but feel

Like a monster chasing me

I know that it's dumb

But this thing that I feel makes me want to run

Try as hard as I can I fight these voices telling me I can't

Strong I muster to be

I make myself believe that I am trully happy

Something wrong with this poem?

I really got into poetry in my freshman year of high school when I was going through a tough time. Since then I still do poetry from time to time and feel its a good outlet. I love doing poetry because not only can I get my emotions across on paper, but I can look back at something I created and am proud of. Most of my stuff does also turn out to be a little on the dark side, but nothing too bad. I feel we all have some sort of dark side to us and just hope that others can relate.
