All of us feel every now and then
Inadequate, imperfect, just rotten
The world sends reminders in myriad ways
Some subtle, some blatant, each of them says
There is a measure you do not stand up to
There is so much more that you should do..
Social media has the remarkable power
To constantly keep all your grapes sour
So even though self-assured you may be
There are bound to be feelings of inadequacy
**
These feelings that haunt us off and on
Have entire industries spawned-
For instance, if women all over were to decide
Their present bodies were objects of pride
Not in need of alteration of any kind
Millions would go bankrupt, you might find
Billions of dollars are spent each year
Based on feelings of inadequacy and fear
Unfortunately, money can never buy
Feelings of self-worth, even if you try
Avoiding the tangled web of comparison
Is something we all need to learn
So that we keep insecurity at bay
As we live our lives from day to day..
Passion...unbridled
