Lies to Yourself: Poem

Apr 24, 2022

You say you wanna feel good about yourself?

You take the easy way,

You lie to yourself.

Until there is no more of you left

You burn with each lie you tell

No big deal, you aren’t that well.

She’s prettier than you.

Oh my god look, she is scoring more than you.

You’ll always be a disappointment, won’t you?

You aren’t thin; you aren’t smart

You aren’t special enough to be grand.

You say, self esteem has long fell

Now, just lies are left to be dealt?

Get a hold of yourself!

You’re worth so much more.

Your value comes from within

Learn one thing,

The world is made to be free in

Be the writer, be the artist

Paint your canvas YOU!

I love debates, books and long walks. I also spoke on a TEDx platform once, so I am going to go ahead and say that I am a TEDx speaker (*Laughs innocently*)
