Welcome into my little world
It is one filled with strange beauty
And the endless wonders of life
But don't be fooled
Though the place where my head can dream
Is quite lit up by my imagination
I myself am nothing special
If you ever did see me
You wouldn't think twice about it
For I am that girl who sits in the corner
All alone, because Baby doesn't get put there anymore
I will never take change of people or even my own life
And the very thing that kills me
Is thinking that someone doesn't like me
I would much rather be, alone with my books
Than out for a party on the town
At night when I lay my head down
I dream of my death, and if anyone truly cares about me
I think about things way too much, when I should just do them
The things that drive me most are my insecurities
And although I obviously have a lot of emotions inside
I never let it show
Or be shared, even with those closest to my heart
So there you have it
My life in a sad little nutshell
Filled with love,
Veronica Arlena

Your writing is just beautiful and the flow of this is so smooth and simply gorgeous.
I can relate to what you wrote about how you'd rather be alone with your books than go to a party. There are times when I won't feel like going out with a large crowd, so I'll make up an excuse and end up staying home reading or something.
It's sad that you'll be so critical of yourself and think that no one likes you or finds you special. I'm sure that there are tons of people who love and care about you. I have a lot of insecurities too, but over the past couple years I've been learning to be more confident.
You should show your emotions on the outside. You have a voice and you should use it. Keeping all of your emotions inside doesn't help at all.
I wish I could help boost your self esteem and make you realize that you are special. You write beautifully, and you are obviously very talented. You should feel proud and confident because of the writing skills you possess.
