Dear Insecurity

November 19, 2017
Dear insecurity,
 
 You were there for me when I was alone
 
 You stood by when my tears overflowed
 
 My mirror had you written across my reflection 
 
 As I ran deeper into my depression 
 
 It took me years to see I was your pet in a cage 
 
 Did you think you can keep me in chains?
 
 You drew your sword 
 
 And I drew my shield 
 
 You were a friend until I realized your betrayal
 
 You said I couldn't find my way
 
 But you were wrong
 
 I’m stronger without you and you knew it 
 
 You were afraid and now that I won
 
 You can never take my throne
 
 From, 
 
 The one that got away
