Insecure
How did she get here
In this foreign place
In this lonely space
Unsure of herself
Questioning herself
Wondering if she was enough
Or if she cared too much
Better yet, if she was scared too much
Scared that she was in love alone
Scared of ending up alone
But she was already alone
Drowning in her own thoughts
Thinking the worst
Only made her feel worse
But she couldn't shut her mind up
And she couldn't talk about it
No one would get it
They just tried to feed her with clichés
Promises of "it'll be okay"
Talking about "You are the prize"
And it all sounded like lies
She knew she was worthy
But knowing and feeling are two different things.
She was lost
And she knew exactly how she got here
Just not how to leave.

Promises of "it'll be okay"

And it all sounded like lies" is definiely my fav tho
