So, I decided to get a lil deep in this one poem rite here. This is for all those who understand what it is to feel like the "outkast".
Enjoy!
Insecurity
When you R insecure n afraid
The teacher asks a question n you keep your hands tucked
You try to say something but the fear is deafening
When you have no one on your side, you R unsure
Most times you find you gotta change what you have to say
Re-write the content, the structure, and the lines in between
Possible conversations turn into bawled up letters
Poems re-written, tossed, and NEVER shown to others
You try to be- but you can’t
For fear of what is real to you is just weird to others
You can’t find a common ground with those around you
So you choose to escape in the depths of your own world and inner solitude
& the problem in this situation is that with going solo
Is that your confidence is projected at a constant all-time low
In this world where it seems that no one can quite understand you
Where it is hard to find anybody like you who you can relate 2
You try to escape
But the backdoor isn’t there
…
Use the frontdoor.
