My mind is both my strongest asset and the most damning part of myself...


Insecurity

Why does my heart irrationally yearn
for someone who perchance could understand
My past misdeeds, and still my love return---
a guardian whose calm could stay my hand?
For such a one I have in all of you
who tell me ev'ry day you hold me dear;
I love you all; I know you love me too
but sometimes even you can't quell my fear.
Sometimes I feel as though I've fallen out
of contact with the world we all have built.
But how could I presume to hold such doubt?
My questions, then, bring nothing back but guilt.
Have faith, my friends: all that I need, you give;
I pray one day my mind will let me live.
