Insecurity

self-doubt exposes fear so deep
my thoughts to myself i keep

my hesitancy for help is prolonged
for my wanting to belong

the uncertainty of people's thoughts
leave me all distraught

the struggle is so real
how did i get in this ordeal?

Sometimes we just need another's help. It seems hard sometimes, but we need to just ask. a lot of people out there and in here want to help others. Soup mail if you need to talk, anytime. Bill
