What I Behold

Insecurity and no self-esteem, these feelings can go hand in hand,

I try to make them go away,

I trust you completely, but why insecure,

I am insecure because I have no self-esteem

This never ending circle is exhausting me,

When we first met I felt beautiful, alive and exciting,

Why have I changed, I have no answers..

Is it the difference in our age, maybe..I do not know the answer,

Photos taken only confirm how I feel, ugly...

Mirrors hold a reflection that sickens me....

You are sweet to say I have a wonderful beauty,

But to my ears it is a lie,

Are the words said only to make me feel good,

Seeing a woman with great beauty makes me want to run away,

What do you think when you see her?

I am watching you and crying inside,

Anger takes over, I feel anger toward you...

You have done nothing ,but it is you I am angry with..

You think she is beautiful and that I am not, at least that is what I feel,

She has done nothing but walked by forcing me to look at her beauty, I feel rage for her...

Sitting alone with you my thoughts consume me, What are you thinking when you see my face or my body

Are you confused by the changes in me, I do not want you to look,

Feeling insecure and ugly...

I wish I could make these feelings go away,

I struggle with them , it is a battle that I feel I am loosing,

Pieces of my self esteem chipped away every moment,

I chip them away,....no one else, I cause these self-inflicted wounds,

When does it end....When does ugly die and beauty begin?
