her insecurities run deep
filling nearly every pore
always questioning herself
and the actions of others
she writes in secret
as tears run down her face
trying to figure herself out
while putting on a brave face
she reads and reads
hoping to escape from her mind
if only for a little while
her dogs are her mental security
her mother is her safe landing
her brother always representing home
her insecurities run deep
but never as hidden as she wishes
always wondering what is to come
who will see through her façade
she tried to shield others
from dealing with her pain
shielding them from her worries
and many many insecurities
