Why do I feel insecure?
I dunno, guess I'm not sure,
People compliment me all the time,
But now I'm slaving finding rhymes
To express my feelings long and deep
A secret and I tried to keep
My secret feelings hidden, buried below,
But now they've uncovered, and yearning to show.
Is it my looks? Is it my hair?
Is it my eyes, or deeper than there?
Is it my heart? Is it my soul?
To find my best flaw, is by far my best goal
So I can find and correct to make me loved,
So maybe god up there can forsake me above
So I won't burn in hell, or just rot underground,
Please somebody save me I just want to be found.
My friends are all telling me I'm full of shit
when I get like this I don't really notice it,
They tell me all these really great things
I'm an excellent writer, who knows how to sing,
but I just don't know anymore, doesn't have that same ring
it did 'bout two years ago when my best friend made me cry
telling me all these beautiful things, I just wanted to fly,
but now I'm unsure of it for many new reasons
for me good thoughts come and go like seasons,
my heart it falls at the drop of a hat,
and gets kicked by the person who doesn't want me back.
Not like that ever happened to me,
but it will, I know it will, just you wait and see.
No one wants me anyway, what can I do?
I refuse to change myself, and so should you.
Now these insecurities dig way down deep,
I stay up past 3 am on them, and can't go to sleep
thinking about what could be wrong.
Funny thing while I was writing this it's all in song.
Now sorry all you people for taking up your time,
this is my last verse, and the end to this rhyme.
