Self-Esteem so low
It's pathetic,
Your not good looking
Or Athletic,
No one to talk to
No one's your friend,
Ain't got no buddies
'Cuz you don't follow trends,
You go to the bathroom
You look in the mirror,
You see your best buddy
It couldn't be clearer,
"Don't put yourself down"
You confidently say,
"No matter how you look
or how much you weigh,
You're a good person
Don't be a fool,
No matter what's said
No matter how cruel,
I'm here for you
If your here for me,
'Cuz you'll always be you
To the highest degree".

i really like this one! it's cool and well written!
good luck -
I thought I commented on this already...lol. Guess not. The background looks really good. Anyway, your rhyme scheme is perfect in this and the whole thing is really powerful. The last two lines draw it together PERFECTLY.
There's no part in me that can express how much I can truly relate to this...I used to have the lowest self esteem. ->EVER<-. I thought I was fat, ugly, everything. The only thing I really had to hold on to was that I considered myself a good person. (Most of the time.)
Excuse the pointless rambling. Good job and congrats on the silver!

Wow. This is very clever indeed like someone else has already said. I really liked it. The flow was quite good and didnt' sound forced at all. Welcome to my preliminary finalists list. Thanks for entering. I wish you the best of luck in my contest.

I wish I could look in the mirror and give myself that talk.. I know during breakdowns.. I'll have moments or rationality and I'll speek outloud to myself trying to tell myself that it'll be better, before I seem to slip back into my own personal hell..
Great job still. And it's a good message. -

Exactly. It seems a little strange that I have to give myself moral support when I'm sad but it actually helps.

Responding means I know who you are.. As well as rating.. Ah well,.. I don't much care. =)
It's a lot better than beating yourself up over it. And it should help, because no matter what, You should be there for you..
