Miscellaneous poems

Self talk

- Self-talk is what keeps us going or falling.
- It's the voice in our head that never stops calling.
- What you say can have you bawling.
- Positive-thinking is (just) what you need darling.

- Self-image is what you see in the mirror.
- Yet in our minds we see nothing clearer.
- We criticize ourselves more than anything else.
- Being perfect doesn't (just) come with a prettier belt.

- According to the dove video, woman are more self-critical.
- Other videos have shown that men think they're all that when they're not.
- Teenagers are fallowing the fake on social media.
- They seem to think that woman seen in magazines,
- are real and they try to get as thin as can be.

- Girls cut themselves, thinking they're not good enough.
- Boys act like they know everything, -they don't.
- What society is trying to project, I don't know.
- If we keep going down this road,
- What will happen to our kids to whom the future we owe.
