Blinded for insecurity

Oftimes alone

or in another's company 

I've searched through lives 

for love's epiphany.

In midnight groans

and pre-dawn moans 

of whispered vows

my heart seemed loathe to own,

Often, I've been scared, 

cause losing 

in search of love's the thing 

I mostly feared

Sometimes I've settled, 

pillaging the sacred mettle 

of my very inner being, 

borne self-inflicted scars in temples of anxiety.

Exchanged me for mediocrity seriously

blinded by insecurity.

But not anymore, 

cause today I've decided to just love me.
