Insecurities

There is this other girl

She is prettier than me

She has a good voice

And I have a bad voice

She is adored by everybody

And I’m adored by nobody

She walks like a queen

But I walk like a hobo

She is clean

And I’m unclean

She is loved by her boyfriend

But I’m just a side chick

She is talented and confident

And I don’t even know myself

I’m broken, I’m lost

I’ve lost my way

I’m lost in the wind

That is blowing away

I also wanna stand out but how

I also wanna be pretty

I also wanna know my talent

I’m enough

Will they ever see my worth?

Is my talent recognised?

Or I am just nobody?

Mama Bombay

Death: How I choose to see you

A Women Is King

In a dark room

Lonely

To whoever needs to hear it: It starts with you. No one will recognize yourself worth if you don't. You are unique: your talent(s); your essence; and your perspective. Invest in, and strive to master the self. Everything else will follow. Have faith, because you are worth it.

If you treat yourself like a queen people will treat you like one... Love yourself and know your what you worth... We can't start by you dumping that sorry as guy you are a side chick to.
