Esteem

poem by: Ashton Crawford
Written on Apr 23, 2015

Don't touch her with selfishness
Don't talk to her with lust
Her discernment is useless
Thinking everyone is good and just

She needs to always please
Don't abuse her flaws
She gives control with ease
You take it without pause

Give her back her confidence
Don't squelch it further
She lacks real independence 
It's so simple to hurt her

She makes using her so easy
Please fight that path
Her past could make you queasy 
Her naivety could provoke wrath

Be honest and real
Do what you know to be right
Put on your armor of steel
Show her she deserves a knight

Can you step up to the plate
If not, please leave her be
You could alter her fate
Your self control is key

Be firm in your decision 
Don't dare change your mind
If she is stuck in your prison
Sincerity is what she should find
