A teenage lament

That awkward moment
when you realise
that only you
can find your
own self esteem
for its not given:
I’m still looking
for mine,
but not that I care
now.

It is true self esteem is not given as a gift to us, but those who acquire it seem to have huge Ego! Yes, as we get older we are inwardly content with what we have and though the search may continue, life has taught us the precious gift of humility. You say a lot in so few words in this very thought provoking poem, Andrew. I enjoyed reading your thoughts and thank you for sharing this very nicely penned write...

When you have a powerful self-esteem, you emit natural confidence and your engines run on steam.
When you don't care, it says you moved on, found better ways.
Wowzy woooo!

[Sami Khalil]

If you follow US politics you can see a very loud man demanding his. To the detriment of the rest of us.

Yes , I know what you mean, from our distance Trump appears as an idiot on his comments, dumb as.
