Uncertain From Within

Deep insecurities running rampant

These nagging fixations are knowingly weighing heavily towards induced notions.

Constant senseless berating grappling against cases of suspicious unraveling.

Disputing thoughts regularly pursuing a perpetrating convincing gem.

Watching one's endless hopes slowly degrading internally, lacking plausible worth.

Seeing empty visions of distresses, deluding in deceit.

Elusive misgivings striking in the midst of quarreling mistrustful minds, fueling escalating inaccuracies.

Only provoking longings glaring frontal glimpses, openly bonding in baffling sequences cornering apparent seclusions.

A puzzling well noted sacrifice outwardly caught surrounding immense skepticism.

Inwardly tormenting drop offs tearing away a fondness once imagined, while effortlessly rescuing the highest of esteem compromises.

    Your words are like tightly twisted ropes and each line unravels vulnerability and meaning, each line reveals something profound, telling us: that we can be our worst enemies sometimes, that our minds conjure disputing thoughts, that we can’t trust it as much as it would like us to, how we feel as though the fondness we once felt is out of our reach. Outstanding work Valerie.
