Stab me in the back,
kick me to the ground,
no one even cares,
when your already down.

So just keep you strength
no matter who's around,
remember it's a fool
who always gets pushed down.

No matter what they say
and no matter what they think,
never let ones' words
get in the way.

Everybody's great
in there own way,
thank you for listening,
to what I had to say.

The author's comments:
I wrote this for anyone who has low self-esteem and who needs something to look up to when feeling down. I was inspired to write this poem because I also had low self-esteem before and have been bullied.

I don't know what it is about your poems but they are all so beautiful and I can really relate to everyone of them. I have had self esteem problem in th epast and the poems describe what its like perfetcly.
