Analysis of Insecurity



To be honest,
I wish I had some confidence
My insecurity feels bottomless
My flaws are all too prominent
I’m sick of my self-consciousness

I try not to be obvious
Hope everyone’s oblivious
Hope I don’t look too hideous
Spiraling through the abyss
I am so fed up with this.
