Rod Maughan Poet Rhyme

Insecurity

What is this feeling?
It nags at me deep inside
I try to pay it no attention
Yet it comes back all the time

I start to doubt everything
My abilities and my mind
I know there is no logic to it
But I can’t leave it behind

Yes I’m loved, and have friends
And don’t have a bad life...
Still I can’t shake the insecurity
Others must think I am blind

Sins of the past still haunt me
I ruined what was once so fine
Tried to forgive me and move on
And to myself be more kind

But some days there seems no escape
No reasoning and no rhyme...
I wish it wasn’t so complicated
I think I’m missing all the signs

Seems all I can do is live with it
Try and make peace, stop asking why
I think I’ll always have insecurity
A companion until the day I die

Gordon Mcconnell October 4, 2025 at 6:38 AM Fine writing Rod with good rhyme and flow too, are you new here on PS? It's good to meet a fellow Brit on here, I'm North of the border and been writing for nearly 20 years. Hope you're have a good weekend, it's windy and wet up here. Take care, Gordon Rod Maughan October 18, 2025 at 5:32 AM Gordon, thank you for your kind words and my sincere apologies for the lateness of this reply! I'm not good at checking things. As a boy, I lived in the north east, and we'd take little trips north of the border. I miss the region, feels like another life. All the best to you, take good care, Rod
