My-Self

Self-conscious, -proclaimed, -respected,
-Injured, -doubted.
To be myself, I must first hear that ancient philosopher
And know myself.
Free myself from expectation and pride.
I must respect myself before I can grow,
Before I can walk amongst you.
Once I learn not to doubt myself,
I can love myself.

I wrote this in, like, five minutes this morning for a project in Literature that was due today. Tell me what you think?
