Self-Esteem

Strange this seems
	To be suddenly want
When I felt so alone for so long.
Now my mind teems
	‘tis an emotional jaunt
Perhaps I was viewing myself all wrong.

Away from them all
	I would usually hide
Afraid to show my true face.
Sometimes I’d bawl
	Crying out my pride
But, now I’m suddenly finding my place.

Echo’s in my mind
	From the old me
Scream at me to shun them all.
Now I find
	From the input I see
It was only me making me fall.

nice dude, I get the feeling of pride, trying to hype yourself up, with hope, when the fall is coming and you know it. But the fall is when we learn. Not to tear you down, you are on the right path. Blessings to you for your honest expression, keep that up.
