self esteem poem (free verse)

comparisons between ourselves and others made
never content with our appearances

always wishing to make a change

why are we so easily intimidated?

beauty approaches, taking long strides

solicitious feelings once hidden away

not wanting to stay buried

preferring instead to resurface,

they make us question whether or not

we are truly worth loving

these thoughts plague our minds

continuously troubling, always making

us second guess what we want to be true

however, we second guess truth

for it makes no sense whatsoever

why do we choose to continue doing this

to ourselves, day in and day out?

it is not healthy, it makes no sense

we cannot be something we are not

nor can we expect ourselves to do so

we are meant to be ourselves

and simply that, for nothing else

is required, or should be of us

you should not change for the world

no matter what anyone says
