Always insecure I would try to compare the exterior of others
with what was within me
My idea of strength being the mask my sire wore
To that example I could never live up to
I always thought myself a coward
Ever so hard on myself I imposed impossible standards,
sought after unreasonable goals
I learned at an early age to hide how I felt
I was taught that the display of emotions was a sign of weakness
My instability caused me damage,
I crawled in deeper still
Never showing anyone what I was about
Feeling others would have the despite for me
that I had inherited
If they knew me like I knew me
I know now I made many incorrect assumptions,
my standards too high
God does not require my help to run the universe
Slowly some of the insecurities leave,
I like myself a little more each day
I can show a little of me and not feel ashamed
Recovery is a never ending excursion,
I need to take happiness from the journey
