Self-confindence
alex Jan 2018
Self- confidence is not something so easily obtained .
These negative remarks , opinions  and thoughts remain.
Stabbing at my self-esteem.
Its original state would never be redeemed .
Self-confidence seem only like a dream.
Society and these unrealistic expectations work together as a team.
Bringing my Self-Confidence to its knees .
Trying hard to win against societies'  high  expectations.
But it is a battle I cannot win, just need  a little demonstration .
That shows your skincolor , bodyshape doesn't define you.
That thinner or whiter is better isn't true.
Just give us a clue .

The hierarchy in this country, or rather in the whole world is insane!
It ranks people by skincolor, age, gender, ethnicity and so much more.
Who would be at the top? Who would be #1, in the world rank of every human being.
I guess, you could think of it as a ladder, the higher you go up, the more privileged you are.
The cabinet makes laws, to make sure we are all equal, but biases and stereotypes make it hard, even by law to treat everyone equally.
I guess, the health of one‘s is not as important as the opinion of others.
As an experiment I tried this with a buddy of mine, where we write poems/stories out of 4 randomized words.
