Redeem Self Esteem
Trekking the peak of triumph was the utmost highlight of my career
Being an icon for years made everyone swept off their feet
The pride, honor and glory seem to be bright and shiny
Just like the applause of people, it’s everywhere surround me
The best moment in life has come to an end
It is taken by time, it must be given to someone else
As light slowly fades and so as people around me
Timidly walking away and forget the history that I made
But the worst part of all is not about losing myself
Not even dropping my glory and lose my pride
I am wondering how to redeem my self esteem
Despite of all negative criticisms thrown on my way
I deserve respect more than anyone’s appreciation
My contributions were huge and they show domination
After making an impact, was everything just an imagination?
For efforts should be realized because they last forever
