insecurity poems

Solid Ground | Wandering Biku

Still searching for that solid centre ground.
Knowing that the only reliable thing
Is Unreliability
Just ain’t helping right now.

Eroded self trust is my foundation,
my bedrock, my stability.
And time and time and time again
The ever powerful waves of self doubt
Undermine and eat away
At what is supposed to be my touchstone.

No matter how quickly and steadfastly the defences are built,
Those cracks of insecurity fill with
The constant drip, drip, drip of
Muddied, toxic delusion until once again
The ironic inevitability of unreliability crumbles,
Washing away the solid, centre ground.

The Mister – A Poem by JD DeHart

The mister with his
tiny mustache,
carries his masculinity
wherever he goes.
he keeps it in one of those
drab old leather canvas
bags, along with shaving
cream and a few issues
of swimsuit magazines.
if pressed, he has no idea
what it means to be a male
in this world of ours,
but he certainly knows
the marketing.
