Ode to Self-Esteem
O, Self-Esteem, elusive, fragile grace, A quiet strength that lights the inner space. No gilded crown, no trinket bought and sold, But inner worth, a story to unfold. You are the root from which true courage springs, The steady hum when life's harsh discord rings. Without your touch, the finest talents dim, A whispered "no" before the race begins. You don't demand perfection,...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...
