Underneath

Underneath my skin lie these dreadful insecurities

It's like putting on a show where everybody is watching me

Every move I make

There's always someone to judge

Even when I feel high

There's always something to make me feel low

Underneath my skin lie these dreadful insecurities

Hiding away in the dark

It's like someone is in control of me

Pushing me back as I watch my dreams slip away

Stuck on the fact, once I let go I'll never get it back

Underneath my skin lie these dreadful insecurities

Thoughts running through my head like

"This is too much"

"You can't do it"

"Just give up"

Putting myself down

When all I want to do is step up

And Because of these insecurities that lie underneath my skin

Ill never be

What I've always dreamed of

Self doubt and insecurities can be crippling. They can keep us from fulfilling our potential. However, they can also be the driving force pushing us to overcome and succeed.

NOTES: I think some of the longer lines might be better broken into two or more lines.

Very well described!!!! It is a horrible feeling, that sense of our 'darkness' being visible to all. I know it well. It makes me want to hide away so that no-one can see how incapable I am. But the trick is to remember that they are only beliefs we have about ourselves and therefore can be changed to something more positive.
A good honest poem. I like your ability to describe your real emotions. It really does resonate!

That's nice, I feel like this sometimes, I just give up sometimes you know, it's not good, but then except when or if we need a break, but then we won't get the results we hope for unless we go for it, whatever we going for, when we know and can define it specifically maybe that is when we succeed or get the best results, not sure but I will know when I hear what do you make of that
