insecurities

I'm scared.

Scared of falling in love with you.

I'm scared your going to notice my imperfections.

All my flaws.

I'm scared your going to wake up next to me one morning, and look at me, but you wont smile this time you’ll really look at me you’ll look at my face and how its uneven and pudgy when I lay on my side

you’ll notice i'm too insecure to go to bed without make up on

you’ll notice my freckles and think they look ugly on me

you’ll look at my curly hair and the mess that it is and think how much easier itd be to run your hand through straight hair.

You'll think how you could have someone who doesn’t constantly role around all night long

you’ll find someone who can wear your t-shirt to bed even though its too big and still make it look good.

I'm just scared you wont want me.

This is very strong and very well structured, but I fail to see the poetry in it.

It reads like a letter. Maybe it is a letter but its not a poem, yet.

Its a very good outline though, you should keep chipping away until the essence is left in a beautiful way.

No intent of disrespect. I struggled with it too at one point. I love prose more than rhyme but its too easy at first to just throw words down and call it a prose "poem".

But it is really nice, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time telling you this.

Actually I really identify with your words. I can be insecure too, even though I'm beautiful ;)

I think thoughts like this stem from our own inner self worth. We often see ourselves differently than how we really are...whether its our looks or the way we think.

Therefore, when we meet someone, the truth rears its head and we wake up to what we really are. And the truth is..we're fine the way we are. I'll bet you are too.

Nice poem.

meaning that you're scared that if you fall in love you will get hurt
