The Gift of Insecurities

The gift was in a very huge package Alluringly wrapped in the palest pink Card attached was calligraphic in ink Any gift from him was not average When opened with much delight, the contents Caused insecurities to tumble forth___ Joy? Fear of failure came from these presents Taking out least feared __verse__William Wordsworth The essence of the gift to him was good The sum of the gift to her was fear Excitement at this stage of life she could___ Not get a grip__on hold her life for years Should she not fear but just try to use the gift God had given her time now spared her life

William Worsworth? his poems are so cool. and insecurites are an issue.its reasonable to be that way when you begin with a person.but later if one still feels that way, there isn't a healthy bond there.thats a question, if they know one another at all.or if its the others fault for saying wrong things, and insults.like "you need a better dress" for example.it's just so messed up.i love your write, i enjoy pondering on your poems. -Always&Forever Lynette
