securing insecurity

By darkdesires

a feeling you run from
making your mind race with you
an endless sea of possibilities

it starts with depression
a mind and soul crushing feeling washing over
paralyzing the body and leaving it numb

next comes the inferiority
daily reminders of where your really are
placing you at the bottom, where you belong

desperate tears

desperate crys

desperate attempts

its all a part of your mind
the insecurities that grip you
plaque your mind

so cry

choke

sulk alone

the security is simple
knowing it'll come back
just hope it doesn't consume you

    a powerful and compelling write! How cruel the slow blooming of insecurity - leaving you devastated. You built it remorselessly and I could feel the creep as it took control. Not in any way to take away the power of the poem - just meaning to be helpful: a couple typos - re: "daily reminders of where your really are" (your shot be you) and plaque should be plague :-)

    This just blew me away, my own words just don't seem to reach my mind as I am still drowning within the depth of your words.. This was tragically beautiful enough to steal away my breath.

    finding the bottom of the bottomless pit is more than most could ever fathom......an ineffective sense of self.....a paralyzingly piece.
