Depressed Isolation

They say i can't be insecure because
I'm a boy, just because I'm a boy I have
to be a man otherwise I'm  a disgrace 
to the society.

The pressure they offer me is far worse
than my insecureness. Sometimes 
I even wonder if there's any cure for 
my insecureness because the more 
depressed i get the more insecure I
become

Whenever I go to the outside world,I fake 
my self confidence. Deep down I know
that I am dead inside. Some will envy
me  for my "self confidence " not 
Knowing that it's a lie. After all I'm 
tryna be  a man
