Self-esteem forms a comparison,
One that is typically a brutal report.

Giving yourself a low grade,
A rating which crushes confidence.

Analyzing tracts through superficiality,
Viewing self from a blurry lens.

Seeing ugliness when beauty shines likes a princess,
Detecting stupidity when the mind is as sharp as a knife.

The flaws you catch in the mirror are false deception,
Witnessing myths of your imagination.
