Self Esteem

I want to be creative
To boost my self esteem
Bring out my hidden talents
Writing poetry was a dream

I read some to my husband
But he laughed in my face
Self esteem so low, so where to go?
The 'nets my saving grace

Now my poems can be read
Some verses I am proud
So when I'm on the Internet
They're read by all the crowd

I now get recognition
Nice people do respond
My self esteem gets boosted
The nets where I belong

Hope

Believe Myself

The do’s and dont’s
The can and cannots

Which do I follow ?
Oh ! I forgot

Minds in a blender
Whisked around and stirred

Some commands I follow
The others never hear

Stubborn or stupid?
Thought's from
someone else

I listen to others
But believe
in myself

- Hope
