I pick up my self esteem each time
like a wineglass dropped on the dining floor.
Somehow, it never shatters, cracks;
not even a chip at the rim.
I am still learning to treat my confidence like a diamond
instead of fragile kitchenware.
So, until then,
pray my arms never grow weary,
tired of a reoccurring redemption.
