Insecure
Insecure made me insecure about my insecurities
About the fact that I'm an Issa perpetrating as a Molly
Wishing I was Kelly
Wanting to know where I belong
Being awkward about most things
Faking the confidence
And planning out fake scenarios in my head I will never grow
the balls to go through with
Insecure made me feel like my flaws are normal
Like I can exist in a hurricane
And I'm not the only one freaking out and planning a nap
Like it's okay to be unsure
And Talk to yourself in the mirror
Insecure makes me feel seen and heard and understood
When I was just getting used to my invisibility
Because of my inability to play strong or aggressive or confident 24/7
Because some men are trash, and some ain't for me, and some... just no respectfully
Issa Rae, Issa Dee, Molly and Yvonne Orji
Thank you! For being the representation I didn't know was missing
Insecure made me insecure about my insecurities
Then assured me I wasn't the only one
And in the end promised it would be okay
