Stabbing myself with criticism,
Inflicting scars through judgment.
Wounded by fearful hopelessness,
As I bleed out my own confidence.
Goals are limited by negative views,
Incapable of achieving full success.
Brawling with the mental despair,
Trying to uplift a positive stance.
Also at war with a harmful world,
Fighting for a spot in civilization.
Dueling with barriers to end misery,
On a determined mission for peace.
By combating my own worst enemy,
The wounds of self-esteem can heal.
