What you can't accept in yourself

sorenbarrett

What's in you, you find in another, insecurity is its mother...................................so queer
Born lack of trust  deep inside, from womb it bursts not to confide.. ...................it's here
Clawing to hold on, fearing it'll soon be gone .......................................................growing fear
Suspicion born seeds in a social garden grows thorn and weeds.......................... threats appear
Control seen as a tool to command a world seen as cruel......................................so austere
Deck stacked, I feel attacked.... ..............................................................................be severe
Protection a must, total lack of trust................................................................... ....steer clear
Them you need to do before they get you ..............................................................make them disappear

    Clever and a bit ominous!

    • sorenbarrett

      Thank you so much for the read and most kind words of support they are most appreciated.

    • David Wakeling

      This is quite an interesting new style.It resembles a List of contents of a book. Ranging from Suspicion, insecurity and trust issue and there origins.It is however a little sinister in that it ends with the need for Protection.Fascinating piece.Made me stop and think

        Thank you David for your read and kind comments they are valued. Yes it just occurred to me the other day that this might be something to try. One might take it as they wish, a table of contents with listing of what to expect in each, a thought with a following thought, a thought and a consequence, whatever.

        A very intriguing write, we have them insecurities some of us in bucket loads, and we should protect ourselves better against them, as they can so easily be our downfall, really enjoyed the read

                      Interesting form SB. Well rhymed also. Such insecurity can and does destroy lives. Some end up living alone like a hermit. - Phil A.
