Your Personality Is Your Most Powerful Tool

When you have an image of yourself inside your head
that image shouldn’t be an image that you have to protect 
because if it needs protecting it’s an image to forget 
probably protecting an aspect perfected 

It’s inaccurate and untrue in this image just for you 
which is not about you placing all those strengths of yours in view 
as it’s equally important you’re aware of what you’re crap at too 
live your whole life comparing yourself with last years you 

The most relevant comparison is you comparing you 
there’s no other way more accurate with an answer that’s more true 
when you compare yourself with people you forget how you’ve improved 
immaturity gets you moody when jealousy forms from what other people can do 

And never ever rate other people on a weakness you can see 
you shouldn’t be creating their weakness based on your belief 
as what you seek is a desperate need to judge with negativity 
make them look bad so you feel better but that is not a victory 

You know you’re sad when you think you have control over your peers 
people who become like that avoid facing common fears 
terrified of finding out they’re not the image they hold dear 
asserting presence helps them believe the false image they think they appear!

There’s nothing more impressive (than personality)
There’s nothing more attractive (than personality)
The truth is honest not pathetic (takes personality)
Ask a question don’t pretend to get it (development you’ll see)
Wrong believes it’s always right (tragic little people)
strength will reconsider sights (attractive little people)
wrong thinks changing isn’t bright (tragic little people)

Weakness is stubborn knowing best 
because the personality protects the nest 
your image of you adapts it never ever sets 
you’re right when you’re wrong if it makes you reassess
