Insecure Poem by Angie Agosto

'Don't be insecure' I was always told
'Your such a beautiful girl with a lot of love to hold'
I always shook my head in disbelief
Only because deep down inside I was always so insecure
I can have someone to hold and love me yet I simply push away
Because I don't believe anything anyone ever says
But as the days go by my insecurity gets worse
And only because I feel this just might be a curse
I never wanted to push those loved ones away
I never wanted to look in a mirror with out looking the other way
I always wanted to love myself for me
I always wanted to be happy as can be
But how can I with this insecurity, its eating me alive
How can this be?
I need you by my side yet I push you away
I want to hear compliments yet I think they are fake
I think the world is against me in every little way
I feel I'm being talked bad about each and every single day
I've been lied to and hurt
I've been talked about as dirt
So maybe this insecurity isn't a curse
Someone brought it out of me
While I was always down and hurt
