An Insecurity Poem by RIC BASTASA

An Insecurity



the way she
puts the foundation
on her face
and puffs powder
on her cheeks
and paints her lips
with that stick
and sprays
her hair like
a pesticide

i think i know now
what anxiety turning
into a full blown depression
really means

but i will not be speaking any word
somehow i do not wish to give
the impression that for now
i already know how to
relate to the falling of
a world.
