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 is the one you set
Making your own standards as high as it can get
Try doing things that makes a deep impression
Impressions on yourself from your own expressions
Comparing yourself to others is one way to fail
Do all things in such a way that no one can tell
Opinions can be cherished but not what you need
Belief in yourself is the reason you succeed.
I'm a fearless warrior. Should I not kill?
With my skill and will, I till every hill.
Amidst moral rifts, I have my mission.
I'm the monarch. I make my decision.
Like lions and tigers, I show aggression.
There is a progression in my vision.
I am loyal like the domestic brutes.
My virtuous deeds have their moral roots.
I cannot afford losing my esteem.
Doesn't each slender sunbeam have a gleam?
'Catch as catch can' be a part of my game.
Should each goodness fit into a frail frame?
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 in tune
She's not a ragdoll
Even if it is for a laugh
I know b'cuz of two hearts twain
She is one half
I look at her and think, you
Can take the old and mend'em new
A second hand heart makes do
(With all she's been through)
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
poisoned its interior,
lack of motivation,
wandering in between
spaces incoherently,
my mind in anxiety help-
lessly what I could
not understand,
the words stare back
at me in silence gradually
suppressing the last
bit of life found closing
in underneath,
time holds on as
it falls into deep
sleep.
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 mine can catch up,
Even though you've always been faster than me
What I mean is,
I'm the kind of gal whose EQ
Can't tell the difference between
"I appreciate you" and "you're a loser"
And my whole being can't understand why you never
Give up
On me
And after all I've been through
I'm also that one who's too afraid to
Pray for a miracle
Even though
God gave me you
I might be working the
Rest of my life
To see what's right in front of me
But even I'm not dumb enough to know it's worth it
"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 ride tides pride
Yet still stay humble on inside
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 of sassy and with a tangy edge,
She’s a multifaceted dynamo
with an energetic verve, tenacious
and at times pugnacious
She can be a little too verbose
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 do you think?
As long I think I am good
That is all that matters to me
So I hope that one day you understand
That you are not better than me
You may have more skills
But you don’t have one very important thing
That thing that makes you worth it
So if you ever want to be as good as me
Try to have more of that self love
You don’t need money
You don’t need looks
You don’t need skills
What do you need?
You need self esteem
The feeling of love towards yourself
What I have and you don’t
What makes me better than you
What makes me more than you
Because I my friend, am the face of confidence
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 the monsoon rains drizzle.
Kindness grows and flourishes like palms on hilltops.
For stumbling blocks and obstacles, I don't fear much.
With the passion of selfless love, I sizzle.
My close associates, relatives admire me as a Compassionate Righteous Persona
spending Quality Time. -Poet
Confidence , Competence and Intelligence
construct and administrate my existence
Dad has embedded Morals in mind,
being my mentor, philosopher and guide.
In my soul he sowed seed of" Self-esteem "
to sprout and flourish to reach Supreme.
Throughout my journey of life I always honour
Universal Moral Values with ardent ardour.
Being compassionate I always offer
my eager helping hand to sufferer.
My Principle of life guarded by Ego,
is the pivot of my progress : I can't forego :
Exploring life as challenge trying to be righteous :
I pay respect to my Self Esteem simultaneous.
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
"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
so harshly to her.
So, a good lesson learned,
to see me in her eyes…
I will love myself more
and not criticize.
What should I do today
Doing everything the same way
Watching too much TV
It’s putting weight on me
Lack of movement causing pain
Knees hurt due to weight gain
My back hurts if I stand to long
Clothes to tight especially my bra
Sweets make my day
Trouble putting them away
No will power to keep at bay
When I walk my body sways
Going to start my diet today
Walk the pounds away
Exercise brings pain
Hope I don’t go insane
Sweat pouring down my face
Trying to run the race
A new life I need to embrace
So I don’t feel disgrace

[ “Everybody deserves a second chance!” ]
Within my existence, I’ve been burdened with low esteem
I was entangled within the ‘unconditional forgiveness’ cycle
To know my worth seemed like a mere dream
My forgiving being? My confidence had no survival
I was perpetually wronged throughout my life
Yet I pardoned those who wounded my being
Whenever I was met with strife
I absolved, my worth I was overseeing
But you’ve hurt me, beyond repair
And I know that for a fact
You shattered my conceptions, but now I’m aware
You can’t keep up this stupid act
Your expression twists into feign hurt
So fake it makes me want to laugh
You’re an idiot if you think I’m not alert
It’s too late for apologies on your behalf!
Destroy the peace
Screw the past push-over me!
Because of you, I feel my worth has decreased
You don’t deserve me, I know you agree
You’re frivolous, your words I won’t allow
So I’ll be fair, I will take this vow
You “want” to stay within my life, you ask how
It’s simple!
Face me now.
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
They live in deceit, acting weirdo
Thinking
They can ride on everybody and get away with it.
