Insecurity

the poem speaks about the insecurity that we feel in life sometimes, because we struggle with ourselves in order to be accepted or followed in the society.

Who am I

That's the question we often do to ourselves,

we  lost plenty of time when teenagers,

preoccupied with what personality best fit us .

but, when exceeded this phase,

the question is: what is going to happen to me ?

What direction to take?

Will I be successful or well received in this new world?

The truth is  the imperfection that is a human being,

 is an insecure being, that spends most of his life to be defined,

loses  time seeking  the perfection of our imperfections .

The most beautiful things we lived are not based on seeking of self,

But yes,

in taste to know that the temptation of insecurity,

gives us the best pleasures.

in search of who I am,

we find what I am when I am with him / her,

in search of what I will be,

we find  what  I am not without you

in the absence of both,

we know that our course will not be well traveled,

because you have already drowned in the most insane and unimaginable pleasures that both may have.

Insecurity is the drug that consumes us and expands our being,

The certainty is their trick to show that security does not belong to our being.

Author's Note

the poem was mainly targeted to teenagers but also to adults that are still fighting to have acceptance in this world, xoxo

Very nice! I like it a lot!! You definitely have a knack for filling your words with the emotion you want. The only thing Id say is be careful on presentation, like where your punctuation is on lines 3 & 5, and how the font format is....unless done on purpose :) Which if that's the case feel free to ignore! Other then that thank you for sharing the piece with me, great read!

This is a topic I think many will relate to. No matter how old I don't think we ever stop reaching for the next step. Or wondering what comes next. You have a few lines that are power punched and I really enjoyed them. Great combination of youthful feel and impact.

[Acucena G.]

You are right Kristin we never stop reaching for the next step , thanks for your motivation . One love

You make some interesting conclusions with this piece. Love how you mix two thoughts.

"In taste to know that the temptation of insecurity,
Gives us the best pleasures."

L-o-v-e that line.

Kudos!

Wonderful job, you speak right to the reader telling us exactly what we do. Which we do. Spot on. I think this would flow better if there was rhyme of some sort, but I know how hard that is and it's just a suggestion feel free to disregard it.
On an off note your grammar and spelling are great. Better than I see with most! Awesome job on that in particular!
Overall awesome job taking a common subject in a different way and really comforting the reader. Your ending line was amazing, saying it's natural to be insecure about yourself and without it who would we be?

[Acucena G.]

wow, what a wonderful words , thank you very much , I really appreciate , and I will work on the rhyme part . One love
