Self-Esteem is Everything

Confidence created from success
Molded from self-esteem instilled by parents
With guidance, empathy and wisdom
Once self-esteem transmorphs into pride
It hungers for lessers to bully and control
Others in lessor numbers or perceived inferiors
To lift you above your internal insecurity
Until you realize that letting go of pride
Is the one path to love yourself with self-esteem
You'll never be anything but a shadow of everything
 you wished that you could be
