Voice

Afraid

Afraid of the cameras
Of the mirrors
And the voice in my head 

   Fat
   Ugly

Not able to fit in 
The mould
Into the slim fit clothes

   Loud 
   Annoying

Confidence - a mask I wear
Over the self doubt and insecurities

   Unlovable 
   Unworthy 

Of your love
Which is a lie out of your mouth
I feel like you’re looking for a way out
Out of my life

   Embarrassing 
   Unwanted 

Unwanted in conversation 
Because of how I ruin it

   Self centred 
   Selfish

A protection against the truth
Present a strong front
And they can’t get behind your walls
Into your doubt

   Childish 
   Immature 

Jokes that aren’t funny
Can’t be trusted
Just a bit too much

If only I felt worthy
Worthy of love
Of friends
Worthy enough to be myself
To feel confident 

If only I could quiet 
The voice in my head
