Nasty Insecurities

[font=Trebuchet MS]   Nasty Insecurities
Are swirling thru my head.
Mirrored images of dead eyes
That echo what’s been said.
   Nasty Insecurities
Are all I seem to find,
Fear and doubt are at every turn
Gnawing at my mind.
   Nasty Insecurities,
There’s so many things to fear.
Lost in thought; a literal mind
Is staring back at me from the mirror.
   Nasty Insecurities
That no one seems to see.
All the walls so carefully built
Are crumbling down on me.
   Nasty Insecurities
Growing in me day by day.
Suffocating, I can’t breathe
So frightened I push away.
   Nasty Insecurities
Are all I seem to hear.
My own worst enemy, I create
The same things I live to fear.
   Nasty Insecurities
Are causing me such pain.
I try to bury it inside my scars
But it seems I bleed in vain.
   Nasty Insecurities,
That I just can’t let go.
Their barbed needles tearing at my skin
Will be the last comfort I ever know.[ /font]
