Self-Esteem

We may be lovely
We may have a stable family
We may be a great celebrity
We may have a lot of money
We may still feel insecure
We may still feel inadequate
We may still feel unlovable
We may still feel miserable.

Self-esteem is 
Less about our height
Less about our weigh
Less about what we know
Less about what we don't know
Less about what we have
Less about what we don't have.

Self-esteem is
More about a positive self-image
Positicve self-image by  which
Positive self-image through which
We accept unconditionally
We respect unconditionally
Our state of being
Our readiness of becoming.
