Self Esteem Ode

Self Esteem Ode

You look at me and judge me
You hear me and you leave
But I don’t care
You may trample me with your insults
But I don’t care
I figure you have something I don’t
Or maybe I have something that you lack
But whatever the case may be
My head will stay high
I am proud of who I am

So what do you think?
As long I think I am good
That is all that matters to me
So I hope that one day you understand
That you are not better than me
You may have more skills
But you don’t have one very important thing
That thing that makes you worth it
So if you ever want to be as good as me
Try to have more of that self love

You don’t need money
You don’t need looks
You don’t need skills
What do you need?
You need self esteem
The feeling of love towards yourself
What I have and you don’t
What makes me better than you
What makes me more than you
Because I my friend, am the face of confidence
