Insecurity

To my past self- I love you

By Ananya VishwakarmaPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Insecurity grips the teenage heart,

A tumultuous journey, where doubts start.

A tender time of self-discovery,

Where uncertainties cloud their inner glee.

Adolescence, a stage of transformation,

Navigating a world of expectation.

Feeling judged by their peers' watchful eyes,

Insecurity's whispers growing in size.

They long to fit within society's mold,

Fearing rejection, their worth untold.

Comparisons fuel the flames of self-doubt,

Insecurity's grip tightly wound about.

But listen, dear teenagers, hear this plea,

Insecurities don't define who you'll be.

Embrace your uniqueness, let it shine,

For in authenticity, strength you'll find.

Remember, you're a tapestry of dreams,

Complex, beautiful, bursting at the seams.

Embrace your flaws, they make you real,

Insecurity's power, you can repeal.

Look beyond the surface, deep within,

Discover your passions, let them begin.

For when you chase your heart's desires,

Insecurity's hold weakens and expires.

Surround yourself with love and support,

True friends who lift you up, never distort.

You're not alone in this intricate dance,

Together, you'll conquer insecurity's stance.

Celebrate your talents, your quirks, your voice,

Let them guide you, give you the choice.

Insecurity's grip will gradually fade,

As confidence blossoms, fears evade.

So stand tall, dear teenagers, embrace your light,

Banish the shadows of insecurity's night.

Your journey is unique, your spirit ablaze,

Insecurity conquered, a triumphant phrase.

You're resilient, courageous, and strong,

Insecurity's clutches won't hold you long.

Embrace your worth, your truth, your worth,

Insecurity's illusions shattered, rebirthed.

Know that you're enough, just as you are,

Insecurity's whispers won't leave a scar.

Embrace your journey, embrace your true self,

Insecurity defeated, replaced by inner wealth.
