"SELF ESTEEM"
  by Sylence


NAILS STAY DONE
SO DOES THE HAIR
CLOTHES STAY FRESH
SOMETIMES SPEND THE WHOLE DAMN CHECK
ALL TO IMPRESS THESE UNWANTED PEOPLE
AND UPHOLD MY NAME AS A BONAFIED DIVA

WANTING TO BE ACCEPTED FOR WHO I AM
IN A WORLD WHO DOESN’T REALLY CARE WHO THE FUCK I AM
MY DAYS ARE SPENT WITH WORK AND SCHOOL
I HAVE NO FRIENDS BECAUSE THEY ALL UNTRUE
SEE I CLAIM IM A REAL WOMAN
I HAVE A LOT OF SHIT GOING FOR MYSELF
THIS SHITS STARTING TO BE STRESSFUL AND I REALLY NEED SOME HELP.

WHY CANT I LOVE BRITTANY AND STOP TRYING TO CONVEY
EVERYTHING BUT THE PERSON THAT GOD MADE
WHY IM TRYNA DIET AND STARVE MYSELF CRAZY
WHY AM I NOT HAPPY IN THE SKIN GOD GAVE ME
WHY CANT I BE HAPPY AND ACCEPT WHO I AM
WHY AM I EXPRESSING MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS TO EVERYONE EXCEPT THE MAN UPSTAIRS
WHY CANT I JUS BE HAPPY AND BE A HUNDRED PERCENT ME
AND FORGET WHAT EVERYONE THINKS AND LOVE ME!

I SAY I DONT HAVE LOW SELF-ESTEEM
BUT IM REALLY STARTING TO DOUBT
BECAUSE IF I DIDN’T I WOULDNT BE WRITING THIS
TALKING ABOUT MYSELF


ITS REALLY DEPRESSING AND SAD AS HELL
THAT I WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO LOVE ME AND I CANT EVEN LOVE MYSELF !

I feel you on this one and trust there is no way you have low self esteem and I will tell you why you know you can write confidence has to be in place for you to put it out there for everyone to read and comment courage which equals confidence you are very much comfortable in your skin cause you cant change that I see a grown woman doing her thang this write was def tight filled with hope and promiss and substance excellent write
