An Insecurity Or Two
A way of life
Will I ever feel like I belong in this world
Will I ever feel like I’m good enough,
Will I ever feel I am deserving of love
Will I ever feel like life is not rough?
***
My biggest insecurities, the way I feel
I am meant to be alone, never belong,
I’m not good enough, I am not deserving
Friendship, romance, I’m always wrong.
***
Life would be a dream, a blessing
If I was to ever rid myself of how I feel,
I’d be confident, secure, happy
If only……if only that could be real!
***
It’s been proven time and time again
I’m not enough, not even nearly,
Everyone eventually runs from my life
There’s a got to be a reason clearly!
***
Wouldn’t life be wonderful, amazing
If we were all considered worthwhile,
I’d be an extrovert, not an introvert
And happiness would be more my style.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
