Comparing ourselves to others

Self-esteem forms a comparison,

One that is typically a brutal report.

Giving yourself a low grade,

A rating which crushes confidence.

Analyzing tracts through superficiality,

Viewing self from a blurry lens.

Seeing ugliness when beauty shines likes a princess,

Detecting stupidity when the mind is as sharp as a knife.

The flaws you catch in the mirror are false deception,

Witnessing myths of your imagination.
