Self-perception

It always is negative

It creates jealousy

It commits murders

It sparks wars

It develops fear

It breaks people up

It creates starvation

It does all the things that we hate

This is what I’d change

 

Self-Perception

It always is negative

We all have it

We all hate it

But

We all accept it

That little doubt

In our heads

That’s always there

This is what I’d change

 

Self-Perception

That little devil

On our shoulder

Constantly lying

Saying “you’re ugly”

Saying “you’re fat”

Saying “you’re not worth it”

This is what I’d change

 

Self-Perception

Driving us

Pushing us

Stabbing us

Into a dark room

Where we become

Slaves to this atrocity

That we all

Want to omit

From our minds

This is what I’d change

 

Self-Perception

It is always negative

But

Without it

We could be

 

We would be
