When I look inside
It reveals its ugly head
Dare I face it
Dare I chase it
Will it confront me
Or will I confront it
Those thoughts are not my own
They come in from foreign places
They still belong with me
I still have to face them
Is there a message hidden
Something to uncover within
Reveal it to others
With excruciating pain
Never mind, it will go away
To rear it’s ugly head again
It’s time to step up
To believe in myself
To share with the world
My vulnerable self
