Self-Esteem

“Self-Esteem -- the belief in oneself

Overweening pride in oneself”

Where has it all gone?

We are desperately seeking the knowledge

As to why

What’s our purpose

Yet I begin to loose the drive

The desire

The will the achieve what ever I wish

We all started at the top of it all

To have it all torn down, why?

We believed in ourselves as we start

Start out in life

Just to have some say

Who are you?

Where do you belong?

We begin to look at ourselves

In the mirror

The image of a forgotten soul is left

Left holding on to an intangible dream

Our pride has dwindled from

A once proud and prosperous

Adventure in life

To the thought of making

It though

Our tickets have been punched

As to where our road will lead us

But still we’ve gradually lost

Our vision

The vision of our self-esteem

Slipping into the past

Gone forever unwilling to return

Where are the Sheppard’s I herd so much about?

I know I began life with one

Slowly loosing what I had

By the paths that I chose

Now I wish to return

I know of not a soul who will help

Help me to achieve my rightful destiny

I’m in this chapter of life alone

I must

For the time to end grows so ever close

Begin to start taking the right passages

Through the rest of this chapter

Or what is left is but a shallow grave

With the shell of someone

Who has lost all of what life was about

who was he…?

please forgive me…
