Premium Member Self-esteem Attributes
This is how one of my friends describes my character attributes. In many blood-shot blazing eyes he sees they seethe inside in the inferno of anger, throw out raging words from the venomous minds. He doesn’t run away from them to heal the scorched self-esteem, nor does he ignite another flame within in retaliation. He confronts them with composed confidence...

Ode to the Mirror
she used to shrink inside her own skin wore doubt like a coat stitched too thin but broken glass still reflects the light and jagged edges sharpen the fight now she stands where my fears once laid building worth from the cracks they made she is gold in the dirt still gleaming unseen an unfinished masterpiece bold and serene...

Premium Member Self Esteem
"She looks just like you!" They say, and I beam! But they're saying much more than their saying seems… For I'd never say to her what I constantly say to me… ("You don't measure up, you can't be enough! You're ugly, you're stupid, just keep your mouth shut!") My mind in shock, my heart so hurt, To even think about speaking...

ANALOG
Some are preys Many are under control Acting to feel worthy Many for applause Some for attention Others just for the money They've lost their self esteem. Manipulation them agenda To rule over your mind Control one against another Steady promoting betrayals They have no self concepts Steadily lacking self awareness. Many are folly Wanna be like another Forgetting their uniqueness Believing in void, empty promises...

To my God To the only one that could set me free. My path has become clearer. I've been finding myself. Slowly but surely my confidence is gaining as I learn who I am. Seeing and accepting my worth.

Self Esteem
When you bother yourself with things you can not do, You forget what you can. When you hide the real you behind the curtains of your inability, You break the confidence you built for years Into pieces, to be fed to your growing ego. And then, do you feel different? Lose yourself slowly in this world of acceptance? Weakness turned you...

Dwarf Star
The universe swallowed my thoughts In another instant of uncertainty Truthfulness and doubt together were something Morphed into a new creation of nothing As if my time itself were the black hole And I, a dwarf star in the infinite sky Waning in the moment’s loss of control Where another hope was left to die. Shapeless and unseen in darkness Lost in...

Quote: “You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.”— Samuel Ullman In realms of self-assurance, let us dwell, Where confidence, a beacon, brightly shines, Like a sun-kissed gem, within us it swells, Igniting paths where success intertwines.
