Insecurity
“You look beautiful”
My heart doesn’t think it’s true
“Don’t worry about what other people think of you”
I can’t because they made me create this insecurity
Reminiscing these tortures
Almost made me give up my existence
All these comments turn my days into scorchers
I don’t seek their forgiveness
Big Nose
Cricket Nose
Ugly Nose
Those phrases triggers my insecurity to explode
I felt the pain of hearing those shots of words
Each day I try to reload
But the bullying starts to burn
Elementary was hell
No one tried to stop it
Their harshness trapped me in a cell
My heart was this close to lit
Teenager era began
Year after year more procedures came in
I wanted to stick to this plan
I guess I can call it a win?
Now I’m done
Improvements are coming along
I can’t let these comments make me run
Those people are wrong
I am beautiful.
I am a human being
That wants to explore her own beauty and existence.
