Insecurity Is My Superpower

The Strength Behind My Doubt

In life, I always feared I wasn’t good enough.

At work, in life, and everywhere, when things got tough.

A work colleague, a friend, or a relative on the climb,

I have always questioned myself, each time.

But doubt, though darkness, became my light,

It drove me forward and fueled my fight.

To prove I could, I gave it my all,

Whenever I feared I would fall.

That voice of doubt shaped my way,

I always turned fear into focus each day.

By striving hard to pass each test,

I found the strength to give it my best.

So let your flaws ignite your flame.

And never allow your weakness to end in shame.

For strength is found in the scars we bear,

And power always grows from deep despair.
