self
esteem
would oft scream
when confronted
with the want of loves dream
they refused to share my heart's bed
when frequently, affection wasn't fed
i would always put my esteem upon a shelf
leaving my soul an empty haunted shed
like this, life is wanting for dead
myself i must redeem
when confronted
i shan't scream
esteem
self
well played...it works on a couple levels...one in feeling unwanted, and another setting aside your self esteem to falsely satisfy that need as well...
