Insecurity Flashback

All carefully constructed self worth is striped away As the laughing voices breach the wall and Tear away my identity. I am a gangly, awkward teenager— A giant in a fairy world. I am a depressed, needy cutter, Sucking the light out of all conversation. I am a dumb, useless klutz— A mountain troll in Hogwarts A blond tripping over her Chihuahua. I make you laugh in incredulity Then fade to the outskirts of your awareness. I am vulnerable until your casual glance. With no where to run from your half-hearted bullets I die a little more to myself.
