"GENUINE"

“Total self-esteem requires total, 
And unconditional, 
Acceptance of your-self,
You are a unique and,

Worthy individual, 
Regardless of your mistakes, 
defeats or failures despite,

What others may think or say, 

About you or your behavior,
If you truly accept and,

Love yourself you won't have a driving,

Need for approval,
Self-esteem is genuine,

Love of one ’s self,
Stop all adverse value,

Judging of you,
Stop accepting the adverse

Value judgments of others,
Purge yourself of all condemnation, 
Of shame, blame, guilt & remorse,

For you are GENUINE!”
