Midnight After Dark

It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from,
Most of us have an insecurity that makes us come undone.
They could be constant or few and far between,
They could be something physical or something unseen.

For some of us it’s our weight or in general our looks,
It could be about your personality or the size of your pocketbook.
They could be caused by years of emotional abuse,
Or just brought on by our own thoughts no matter how obtuse.

They cause us to seek validation for little things we do,
A compliment or a kind word it doesn’t mater from who.
Sometimes you can wait for that reassurance to appear,
Oft times the longer it takes, you’ll never get it becomes your fear.
