Anyone Seen My Self-Esteem?

I will learn to be strong

push aside swelling emotions in me

whispers of deceitful lust and blasphemy

blinding feelings calling for a voyage,

down a river of flowing misery

I will learn to silence those voices.

I will learn to be strong

not letting another soul,

dare to wound me

dare to hurt me

dare to toy with my fragility

dare to manipulate my vulnerability,

I will learn to numb my pain.

I will learn to be strong,

to not be drifted away

by mere temptations,

to focus on things that matter to me,

like soaring in the sky of excellence

like the wonderful bondage with my loved friends

like absorbing all the knowledge and experience

life presents to me,

I will learn to strive

for the best I can be.

I will learn to be strong,

I will learn to carry on,

I will learn to cherish

every minute

every second

every breath

every heartbeat

and I, will learn

to dream on

of the infinite possibilities

of the million things I could achieve,

and I, will learn

to spread my wings

and fly high.
