I berate myself all night,
Having misgivings about
How my day went.
Did I speak too much?
Did I laugh too loud?
Did I share more than the rest?

The thoughts undo my being,
Day in and day out.
They creep into my face
And highlight the uncertainty I feel
Through my eyes.

I must reach this realm
I have only heard of-
One of self-assuredness.
And to get there,
I must cross this chasm
Of insecurity and rise above it,
Yet still blend into the universe
While I grow,
For there is a place for everyone
In its fold.
