Insecure
Will they laugh or will they sigh
Is there even shade in the darkness?
Should I rejoice, or should I cry
Can my weavings withstand any stress?

Fake a smile
Swallow back the bile
Submit to the trial
Fearing denial

Insecure
Does anyone enjoy one bit?
Show what you have and hope it's enough
Will the cat purr, or hiss and spit?
If it didn't matter, would it be so tough?

So fake another smile
Swallow back the bile
Submit to the trial
Fearing denial

Insecure
If I failed, would I be told
The true opinions might go unsaid
I won't ask, I'm not that bold
None of it will matter, in a century we're all dead
