#lowselfesteem
* Awaken refreshed, hush the alarm, time for another caper, cuddle with the kitty, good morning, my fuzzy lil slayer! Feed the furballs, cereal for me, start the coffee maker, may be a good day today, at least it looks good on paper. Drain the main, check the mirror, what-up my _playa_— wait a sec, is it my self-hate, or am I a little greyer? Inhale my morning nicotine with a sugary caffeine chaser, hazelnut and doubt, mmm, that's my favorite flavor... Brush and shave, step into the Hypothetical Argument Simulator, hope follows soap down the drain—oh well—see ya later! All dressed up, glance to verify the happiness imitator, hold my chin up high, but only for the cologne sprayer. Front door locked, start the car, on the lookout for hidden radar, try to outrun the bitterness, traffic jam, wish this were single-player. Make it to work in one piece, if just the outer layer, brain boiling beneath, my good old trusty traitor. *

Illogical Progression
do you Wonder Why it’s the negative things we tend to believe When people practice to deceive Nine people say Something good Yet we glam onto The one negative Whether we Should I’m a daft Old cow A fat sough Plain Jane Implications Of a name I never Thought I was Something I was Not Brow beat from Head to my feet I could never Measure up The pedestal Is too steep We are the worst critics In a cynic world we create We never give   Ourselves a break Go easy For goodness sake I was never one of the pretty people Gilded Castle, Golden steeple People in glass houses should never throw stones Far Too much to atone He who is without sin, Cast the first stone I’m A rough ragged Rock With intentional purposeful refinement Even while blemishes are detected My inner self starting to show with no objective Patient polish purposeful perfection I became a brilliant diamond Now I shine I have grown in my reflection No more negative rejection Without stern objection I’m No longer a whipping post Live love, laugh Father Son Holy Ghost Journey to self be a loving host Inspired Songs; 1) Dream by Aerosmith 1973 2) I got a name by Jim Croce 1973 3) Be good to yourself by Frankie Miller 1977 4) Shining star by Earth, wind and fire 1975

Low Self Esteem
Oh? Do you have a small amount of self-esteem? You said yes? Let me bring it down lower for you Come on everyone! Let’s do it as a team! Don’t be mad; everyone has to have their fun too Oh? Are those pimples on your face? Hand me a marker and call me someone with grace Can’t wait to play “Connect The Dots” on your face Come on, don’t run away Stay still for me You’ve already locked yourself away In the corner of your doom Or may as well call it your room Everyone has already got you surrounded, so what’s the point of running away? Are you a male or female? I can’t tell through the details Your chest is too flat to the point where I suspect you’re a man I’m not sorry; just saying this because I can Your voice is disgusting It’s making my ears turn into a state of bursting Just stop talking and start walking To the **** that has been lured to you Yep! I’m talking to you Hate to be rude But it seems you can never listen I’m not tired Are you tired? Of course you’re tired You always look tired Or… Sick You’re always as skinny as a stick Have you heard of gaining weight? Or have you been making your appetite wait? Are you that insecure about yourself? You are that stupid that you don’t know that metabolism pills are on the shelf? Why are you so nervous? Did I get you? Awwwww…. The girl is insecure! Why the hell are you so flirty? No wonder why you have no friends within the city I wonder how your parents still love you Look at you You can’t even defend yourself What a weak, disgusting, pathetic excuse of a individual you are **** yourself You're welcome for supporting your selfish decision The ropes are on the shelf Now go into Dazai position Die Die Die Die And let all the others go by

Being with you makes me feel stupidly in love. Being with you put a stupid smile on my face. When you don't show, I feel so stupid, for being so crazy about you!

Do you not see you're just as important? What makes you think less? Is it because of your brown hair when you wish it were blonde? Or your hair straight rather than curly? Your brown eyes that should be crystal blue? All you want is to fit in. But life made you different. Yes, you have your hourglass shape. Your small waist, and large bottom. Maybe that's what makes you most proud. Your proud of what everyone admires most? Shouldn't you be proud of what you admire most? But you choose to admire the bad qualities. Your larger nose, the pointy chin you have, and the way your face scrunches when you laugh. Why must those things be ugly? Or those embarrassing qualities you label like your laugh, the way you stand, the way you walk. Even, the voice you show. You're beautiful because you're you. Your brown curly hair dragged down alongside your golden skin. Your honey-dipped eyes when exposed to the sun. Your dry skin that keeps your tone flat accompanied by your oily skin that gives you structure. Your laugh that triggers another laugh, which ends in endless amounts of laughing. Love is you, you are love.

Dear, You.
The drums in my ears, the galloping of horses right behind my back, I stand looking at the murky thick fog, with the word ringing in my ears, "Attack!" I stand still, pondering of what to do and why, Pondering in my head, why don't I just die… The black hooded riders gallop on their horses right behind me, There is a legion of them, thick as smoke with no hope of being free, Ravens screech above my head, smoke pours from my head, back and shoulders, I want to reach out, want to give up with this feeling of me being crushed by a million boulders… My head drums, my temples throb, my vision goes blurry and hazy, My eyes cloud with a murky green color of insaneness, I'm going crazy, I grab my sharp big knife, and start to stroke it absent mindly, Meanwhile, I struggle on, with the hooded riders behind my back whle I stumble on-ward blindly… I still have hope in my heart, as my feet carry me, I look at the dim pale objects of people, walking happily and free, While I… stumble in this murky thick fog, and behind me there is hooded figures with their swords, The numbers so many of them, it's like black thick smoke, except of the figures there is hordes and hordes and hordes……… I fall on my knees, stumbling over ****** grass, I see holy-water ahead, but the smoke atop my head tells me to pass, Falling on my face, I give up, breathing hard and almost dead, I give my last efforts, when a figure gallops up to me on a stallion and with it's sword just cleanly slices off my head… The blood paints the grass, as my hand is holding the knife, The blade is stabbed deep inside my chest, taking away my life, My eyes go pale and my body stays motionless, in a death-like freeze, The fog clears, the figures disappears as the smoke gets blow away by the soft gentle breeze...... ~Mishka Wayz~

What is so wrong with me? Why am I misunderstood? Seems like all I ever cause is harm I just want to do good I push away from me Asking myself why Have become so hard to love Own heart dares not try Growing up many times was told I should always be myself Those same people tried Sculpting me into someone else By now realized I'll never Be good enough that is clear to see How could I ever be enough for the planet? I'm not enough for me

Not Enough
Sometimes think of happier days How the sun shines brighter with your touch All the desire sworn to me Within confines of your clutch As brain climbs up and down memories Performing astounding acrobatics midair What I want above anything else For you to prove you care This is my mind's obsession Realize there's no turning back Pills improve mood until effects fade Then I am forced to deal with what I lack

Pow! Right in the *** Life
She's ashamed of how When she cries It burns her chest and her eyes It twists her soul Entirely A war upon her Humanity Knives in her lungs as she struggles to breathe Words arent enough And she's tries not to scream Her head is a pounding mess of emotion Her heart is the strongest Beats are explosions She feels smaller than any word can make her Everyone's expectations are greater She's ashamed of how when she cries She feels like the world wants her to die And she doesnt understand her worth Or why she's even on this Earth She's ashamed Of how much it hurts when she cries Because it makes everyone envy the pain in her eyes

I remember the interrogation room, I can still hear the voices boom, Each question that was in burned inside my head, Has informed and destroyed me. I can still feel, The clock of time, ticking by, It's keeps reminding me, This argument keeps going on and on, And we both know we are done. I don't have a voice lawyer, That can talk back and defend me. So I have to sit and take it. The room is growing smaller, Which is quite concerning because it was quite tiny already.   My interrogators want me to talk, But they only want to hear what they want to hear.   So I stay silent, because I can't give them what they want. They keep shining this spotlight on me, And I feel so small, maybe there winning, Because I just keep agreeing. When I leave this interrogation room, I know I’ll change myself all of again, Because I aim to please, And I never wish to go through that ever again.

Judgmental Interrogators
Quick to forgive, Slow to heal, All I wanted, Was something real, I give my all, And ask for nothing in return, Is it any wonder why, I slowly smolder and burn?

The Other Side of Things
I use this fancy colors on my lips To cover all these cuts Wishing that they will all vanish As I carve a smile on my lips I use different powders To cover up my flaws The acnes due to not sleeping Considering that anxiety pays another visit I use concealer to conceal the dark circles The eyes which are hurt from crying Everyday and everynight nonstop Asking for sympathy I use eyeshadows to add color into my life Different colors as for I am a pretender Glitters to show that I stand out Trying to belong in a group Trying to hide my real identity But who am I fooling? It's no other than myself Someone who cannot accept her flaws
