Having To Believe In Me

Its been the emotional abuse
Being put down for years
I always doubted myself
While the smiles hid the tears

Always lacking in confidence
Being made to feel less
What became important
Was finding a need to express

My need to build self -esteem
It was part of the plan
Having to believe in me
I would be doing the best I can

Having to believe I was worthy
I look upon with insight
Learning to love myself
Had given me reasons to write

Yo HopeS,

There you go Hon, that's the spirit.

This is a great poem and picture combination.

Love Bobby
