Insecurities

Most days I hate myself I wish I was someone else I look in the mirror and I I just wanna cry Maybe I need some help To save me from this hell But they don’t understand How it feels They say, “Love yourself, it ain’t that hard” But they can’t see the broken parts Stabbing me right in the heart It ain’t easy to fix a thing Permanent like self esteem When you’re already twenty Insecurities are eating me alive And it feels like there’s nowhere to hide Maybe I just need to grow some thicker skin I’d probably like it better than the skin that I’m in I have a bad habit of Thinking I’m not worthy of love So I push people away When I need them to stay I never open my mouth To let my feelings out Afraid you’ll think I’m just Dramatic They say, “Speak your mind if you wanna be heard” But I can’t seem to find the words Open mouth but my mind’s a blur Emotions trapped inside of me Chained to insecurities Will I ever set them free? Insecurities are eating me alive And it feels like there’s nowhere to hide Maybe I just need to grow some thicker skin I’d probably like it better than the skin that I’m in I don’t wanna die I just need to cry And that may sound strange I’ve got to learn in life That I can try and try But some things never change Insecurities are eating me alive And there won’t ever be a place to hide Maybe I just need to learn to live with them Because there is no changing who I am I wish I’d known that wasn’t a bad thing
