I am machinery forever holding myself back,
I criticize magnifying everything that I lack.
And when the pain runs through your veins it's hard to get it out,
You can scream at all the demons but they all look like yourself.

Insecurity will be the death of me x2

Here we go again put my feelings back on the shelf,
Bottle it up, turn around, then beat up on my self.
And oh, oh how I wish I was the sea,
I'd be big and vast and proud and nobody could tell me nothing.

Insecurity will be the death of me x2

Here I am with every kind of pity there ever was,
They say you grow out of self-hatred but no one ever really does.

Insecurity will be the death of me x4


The author's comments:
Insecurity in my decisions inspired this song. I am always second-guessing myself and that has led to me holding myself back. Writing this let me finally get my feeling out about my insecurity.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. An original poem is long overdue.

"You can scream at all the demons, but they all look like yourself." That was a beautiful poem.
