I wish I had a disguise,
To rebuff that questioning look in their eyes,
As it pierces straight through me,
Could I be on show for all to see?
My self esteem is so low,
As everyday is another heavy blow,
All I want is change,
Why do I have to feel so strange?
Insecurity is like an infection,
That makes the minor things hurt most,
This is simply deception,
But why am I its host?

This is wonderful...I think you are my favorite author I have found here yet...and while I may be new, I don't think that opinion will change any time soon. I love your work because every poem I have read, I feel the same way.

Thankyou so much! I'll definitely be checking out your work soon enough!:) I'm so glad you liked it and can relate to it so well... I find that only when I really feel an emotion can I put it into words. Thank you once more for the comment and understanding the poem so well, you're the kind of person I was writing it for, just like my friend whom it was for!:)
