My insecurities bubble up
And babble like brooks
And springs and streams
Flowing over dead riverbeds.
I am lost in their new life,
Blinded by the light.

Can I not see the truth?
Breathe in reality
Like a false prophet
Exhales fallacies?
No. For I am only human.
And all humans are
Blind, deaf, and dumb
To honesty.

Love is the same.
It cares not for reason
Or reality. Yet it exists,
Breeding insecurities and
Making the viscous cycle
Go merry-go-round
And come to a full-circle stop
Before me.

The horse heads stare
Into my soul, knowing
What lies beneath the calm,
Glassy surface. An earthquake
Is shaking the seabed, scaring
The fish away.
Where will the tsunami
Make its ground?

Or has it already come ashore.
It started out as a piece about my insecurities as a writer then turned into something applicable to anybody, really.

Critiques encouraged.
