Louise Schutz

What is insecurity?

When you can't talk to that boy?

When your afraid to go up on stage?

 

No 

 

It's when you know you can't do it

Because you know your a failure

You know because of the children

 

When you were young

On the playground 

You were the freak

You were the loser

 

You sat alone and played in the dirt

They surround you

Chanting 

Screaming

 

Freak, stupid, loser

But oh there just children

They don't know 

The impact of their words

Can tear someone apart

 

Make them feel worthless

You hear it all the time

Your not worth it

You can't do it

 

And as you grow 

You learn to accept

They're right

 

I don't trust others

I can't speak up 

I am a child 

In an adults world

 

Not to be loved

Not to be cared for

I am only a child.
