They say I am arrogant
I disagree
They say I am egotistical
I disagree
They say that the only one
I care about is myself
I disagree
I may posture
And claim that
I am better than I am
But that is only posturing
Only positioning
It is not who I really am
I have a secret
That I can’t find words
To express
I am insecure
I doubt myself
I don’t think highly of myself
I fight myself in an eternal battle
For my life
Arrogance knows no insecurity
If I were so self-possessed
I would not think myself worse
Than the majority
Perhaps it doesn’t show
That I am fighting for my life
Every single day
But I know
And I know I am not arrogant
I am insecure
