My hands are very dirty and I can't get them clean. I'm scrubbing and scrubbing, but my nails are still unclean.
The soap is full of blood, and the stains are beginning to set. How in the hell, did I get myself into this mess!
My mind is racing fast, and I'm asking myself when did this begin? When was I not able to see how this would all end?
How did I get so blind, when it was all plain to see, take care of yourself, and then I'll allow you to take care of me.
I got caught up in complete self pity, and was just wallowing in it freely. But it's not the first time I've killed my self esteem.

Poetry: Self esteem
I Am More
I am more than what I give myself credit for.
I am worth more than I have allowed myself to settle for.
I am
It’s ok, it’s not that bad
Please don’t hide your true feelings behind a mask
There will come a day when
When they say no
Scream out yes
When they think they know
Make 'em guess
Don't let the world
Try and mold you
Say the sky is green
OH, INVISIBLE ME
Ignored again, passed by.
Seems no matter how hard I try,
No one sees me, no one knows me.
I must be invisible!
Is
by B. Whitney
What is it with me?
This constant search for reciprocity
The ever need to be so even
Every thing I want inside
And out exposed
