Poetic Lament
If you say you don’t like it
I’ll pull it from the shelf
that’s just how insecure I really am
Most the time I don’t like it myself
if rejection is the slaughter,
I’M the "lamb"
I need thicker skin
to survive this craft I’m in
or learn to take the bitter with the sweet
If you’re quick to criticize
please don’t blame me if I cry
and lay my self-esteem down at your feet
