Insecurities, My Weakness {An Original Poetry}

I stop to look back once in a while

Time isn't a friend we forever have on our side

Life in its good and bad moments

The reality of this reality, sometimes is a torment.

Some lived only a fortnight

Some survived the fiendful dusk to die at dawning of a new sunrise.


What is life if not vanity

And if you ask me of humanity, I would say "vulnerability"

Life is a sport we've learnt to participate

A game we never truly understood, yet to be played

It is the way of our existence

Alas, there's no such uncertainty as who's next in death.


We forge ahead regardless

And dream horizons of awesome heights till our last breath.

Even in the face of this odd expression

Lies a heartfelt celebration

If we look past the bad and focus on the good

Happiness is a choice, so we choose what mood.


Smile looks good on all, if only we give it a try

Time to stop just being a souvenir, and let wisdom from above guide.

Learning to say appreciations to God who help us overcome

That way, we don't forget our existential source.

And even though some things are better left unsaid

Can't keep this thoughts bottled up inside forever, those insecurities are my weakness.


I stop looking and met with reality in the now

Now all I could think of is how savage weakness feast on man

Realized I had to take fight on elegant wings

But with a touch of confidence, rise through thick and thin

Not just by creating moments, but choosing what matters

Need to take flight...

Away from those insecurities, away and further.
