Commanding Your Feelings
So many seem to feel no self-esteem
feeling so very down think they're no good
confidence so low at various times
but there's a way to get one in the mood
You can raise yourself up again
feed yourself with good thoughts for real
talk into your mind, heart and spirit
don't cheapen your image turn your wheel
Learn not to accept inferiority
make sure never give it consent
no reason or person can do it
lift yourself up and be fully spent
Our experiences of life can affect us
whether for good or sadly for bad
never allow the bad to hold us down
hold the good so then to be glad
Pin it up on your kitchen wall
"no one can make you feel
inferior without your consent"
be your master give it your seal
(" No one can make you feel inferior without your consent")
- Eleanor Roosevelt(1884-1962)
