Cope
Imight be an unaware 14 year old , who is vulnerable, but not naive, careful of what she says or does so she won't get judged. Insecure beyond measure. Drowning in her own self-consciousness in a sea full of expectations. She wonders, maybe , insecurities aren't as bad as they are presumed to be , insecurities lead to self awareness , which leads to successfulness , which is good, but why can't we be successful without the stress , the cuts, the cursing , the fists , the tears, the apologies, the pain , the sacrifice, the waisted time, the hurtful words, the masks, the fears , the wants that hide the needs... why can't we ? why is it that the more secure I become , the more my insecurities seemed to seep through? Most of all why are we forced to cope with it ? Why do we accept it ?
