I have never understood how
you can have low self-esteem
when you had the best upbringing.
Your parents were
so loving and nurturing
while mine were anything but.
Yet for some reason
your sense of self-worth
needs a little boosting.
But there's only so much
I can say to improve
your perception of yourself.
At some point (like I did),
you will have to look inward
and find that validation.
