Self-Confidence Slam Poem


Confidence, confidence is key
but what is confidence if there is nothing underneath?
We build a preconceived idea that whats underneath is nothing but...well nothing.
I'm ugly, I'm fat, I am nothing but a piece of trash
These are the injured mentalities
of all those who have injured realities
and all those who create a border to the thoughts of mortality.
Whats underneath?
nothing.
nothing, but the skin and bones I pick at until I find that idea everyone calls beautiful
and as usual I am reusable.
Because a girl like me?
a girl who has nothing to believe?
What is beautiful?
I wouldn't know, I am nothing but delusional.

  2. This is a very moving poem which demonstrates lots of deep thinking and understanding of low self esteem and the mental battles many teens all around the world face. Amazing work, good job Harney :)
