Seeking Self

By shandel stewart   

Inadequate self esteem
Needing to be seen
Judging yourself for who you think you are
Failing to believe that you’re really a star

But I can’t blame you
They do it too
Judging for what they believe to be true

After all
We believe what we see
But gold is often hidden
In perfect misery

Faith in nothing other than the dust
That clouds our lazor vision
And takes away our trust

Needing to know
Yet not wanting to grow

Thinking each one is the best
Failing all life’s tests

Magic never gripped
Divinity stripped

Dust blurs the way
Tainted vision
Leads them astray.
