Insecurity
October 29, 2013
I don’t see the flaw
Or the insecurity.
I just see a person:
The best at everything,
The most popular one
In every circle.
I fought to build
The friendship we have,
That’s why it hurts
That I’ve let you down.
I now see
You’re as insecure as me
But I still say
You’re better than me.

I see what you mean by the jump and I am thinking of a way to tie it all together now. Thanks!

I really liked the premise. The way you wrote it made it very compelling. Your spelling is great and your grammar is pretty consistent. I do think you might want to word your third stanza a little differently or add another. I feel like there's a little jump between the portion where you talk about you letting this person down and seeing that they're insecure as well. That's my only criticism. Otherwise, this is a nicely written piece. Great Job!

I feel that it works because it's not like I'm the only one who is in this situation or who has been in it. Thanks!!!

I like this poem, and i know how you feel. Jealousy is the worst thing ever, especially when its your favorite person. Keep up your good writing!(:
