Insecurities
aadi 2004 (Mumbai)
I fake a smile to pretend I'm alright,
so that no one knows about the demons inside.
My insecurities get the best of me
and despairing thoughts seep into my mind.
I feel like everyone's judging me,
based off on what they see.
Bounded by the expectations and standards
set by the society.
As i sit by myself, my anxiety kicks in strong,
could probably become a philosopher
'cause i overthink a lot.
Sometimes I do wonder,
why can't i just accept myself for the way I'm?
If you ask my mom,
she'll say it's cause of the gram.
