How low is low
Have I found no other high but in guys
Have I stooped to the ground and below
Where do I stop, when will I say no

My insecurities lead me to this road
It is only countless times that I have journeyed here
How can I let him hurt me
How can I let them hurt me

Do I not know my worth?
A woman's worth?
Don’t you know that you are courageous and beautiful and intelligent and the sweetest of your kind
Don't you know the power you hold over men?
Don't you remember the strength in your smile?

Just because of one person, it easily fades away
Blindly you see no good in yourself
Insecurities, insecurities, countless insecurities.
You are good enough. You are beautiful enough.
Your lips are tender, you eyes are deep as an ocean's blue yet they are brown
Why do you let this one person take this all away?

Because at this time, in this day. Nothing else seems to matter
Just how you weren't sufficient to one person
How you aren't good enough
How you will never be good enough.

And the words continue to fade away
Until you're left with nothing. Words with no meaning, a body with no meaning.

Emptiness.
