Esteem Poems

When You Believe In Yourself

When you believe in yourself you can't lose
No approval needed to do as you choose
If they don't like it thats fine because you do
Whatever you do is not necessarily for their view
You don't perform actions to get their attention  
Be your own fan with no need to be mentioned 
The highest rank ever reached

Belle

Faintly the church bell tolls
On the hour, faintly she sighs
She cries out to the Lord
About the how's and whys 
She's a women
(Some say she is scorned)
Most don't see the women I see
A lover with love she's adorned
She can smile in the sun
And hide in the moon
But when she has a sad
I feel our hearts rhythm

Tempestuous Self-Esteem

Expectations brings
about self deprecations,
sometimes I wonder if 
the thoughts running 
through my head are 
my own or somebody 
else’s?

The world lives
in constant turmoil,
waves crashing,
tides swerving in
and out from open-
ended beaches,
abysmal delays of
the lighthouse directory,
guided by supplemental 
shocks of lightening
rays trajectory.

I stand firmly in front
of the baseless sandcastle,
a fragile foundation of
past voices from lurking
shadows who slowly

God Gave Me You

We both jumped off a cliff, 
I fell 
You flew 

We both went for a dip,
You swam
I sank to darker hues

Each night my dreams play 
On replay
These similar troublesome tales
Yet the day brings the light
Which reflects the words I only dare believe 
From your eyes
And the rhythm of your heart 
Beats several strides slower
Just so

Self Esteem

"If you put a really small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price." --Anonymous

Hard to be a humble soul
In a world of silver and gold

Some rather tweet than to speak
Others prefer cookie cutters than unique 

Self esteem is like a boat's sail
Without it more likely to fail

It’s ok to

Self Esteem

She rises, she rises like the sun that knows no shame,
this woman-teacher-poet-mother-flame,
her soul vast as the sky that holds all storms
yet gentle as the dewdrop kissing the earth at dawn.


O Universe, behold your daughter who has learned
the sacred secret whispered by the wind,
that worth is not a treasure buried deep
but seed-song scattered wide like prayers

 I C E : Ode to Self

few Hearts can fancy dress their
nakedness in icicle Presence
fewer minds will slip into cemetery’s dusk

 glancing what is needed or already seeded
I n s I g h t checks wisdom, no cerebral chancing  
 
silence

Tailored to Grow Up

In the world of today girls feel the need to sexualize themselves. 
Social validation is more important to them than personal values, family, and getting good grades.
Makeup and skincare can be found in their online shopping carts—
replacing Christmas wish lists
along with clothes that are two sizes too big or two sizes too small. 
They get

Self-Esteem Odes To

From the words of my beloved partner~ he spoke I inked

She’s a clutch player who excels under pressure 
She’s Johnny on the spot with tenacious resolve, 
One who is extremely creative, an innovative marvel
For example, surprisingly adept to any endeavors
in which she partakes and is quite vivacious, 
A zany sense of humor 
with a touch

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

Self-Esteem

Courage and confidence, like lifeblood, flow in me.
From life-giving streams, waters of wisdom I drink.
In scowls of my foes too, beams of smiles I can see.
With my flawless faith, all my endeavors I link.
I wipe off my conflicts as though they are sweat drops.
Graces, like dewdrops, kiss me with a gentle touch.
Compassion in me like

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

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
