PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

insecurity

rises to her full ugly height

towering over

my every last vestige of logic

why can't I defeat low self esteem

I so want to be enough

just as I am

not deemed better

if thinner

this is the bruised

ego having a tantrum

I am sure

but it feels so painfully real

love always comes with conditions

even when others swear

otherwise

and I am left feeling

so decidedly less

in their eyes................
