Writing helped me get over
my own insecurity
that acted as a burden
keeping me from every opportunity
that knocked on my door
calling me out of my hide out
and pushed me into the world
letting go of all the doubt
i had ever had
accused of true love
yet that was something
that I'd not enough of
life before was so hard
before this appearing saving grace
the image of myself was all wrong
it put me into my place
and i woke up and realized
I'm so much more
than anyone had thought
more than I'd ever bargained for
i found myself
withing my writing
and my eyes helped me see
that i needed to put myself into new lighting
now i am here
someone filled with confidence
although sometimes i do struggle
trying to cope with all of this
