Self Esteem

Ever wonder what others think of you?
Like a glass mirror reflection of yourself
Asking is this Me?
Is this who I really want to be?
Many say they're fine
But our thoughts and feelings are in denial
Denied by our society who strives to be a trend
Following someone they aren't
Instead of following their heart
And that is what tears us apart
Our self esteem
Determines the amount of acceptance
From friends, family, even our ex's
Which doesn't direct us
But reflects us
Wondering if I had enough strength and confidence
To actually be my damn self
Instead of having dreams
I just wanted to be seen
As a human being
With self esteem
