Like Cyrano's Nose

Like Cyrano and his nose,
I have many insecurities.
External imperfections,
have led to internal impurities.

I always try to compensate,
for what I'm lacking on the surface.
I do things that are bold and daring,
for no reason, rhyme, or purpose.

I tend to make light of situations,
that are darker than the night.
I try to hide all worry and despair,
when all I feel is fright.

A fear of rejection, encompasses me.
From now, to the end of my days,
because I know that my one true flaw,
will surpass me in every game.

By that, I mean, it will never give in.
It will always be there to haunt me.
No matter how hard I try to ignore it,
there is no way for it not to taunt me.
