What In Ourselves We Do See

'Tis true what is said of some people that we become what in ourselves we do see And if you think that you are a failure then a failure you'll turn out to be Self doubt has become my barrier to success and of such I will never be free For an example on negative thinking you need not look further than me Yes if you think that you are a failure then you create your own poverty But a wise person can strike a balance between arrogance and too much humility But I am one of many who cannot strike such a balance for my negative self effacement the price I do pay Financially I'm not a winner my thinking has left me this way Yet sad to think some of the financially successful feel arrogant in their high self esteem Such people are quite overbearing at least to me that's how 'twould seem Yet few things worse than low self esteem those with it do drag themselves down For that perhaps I'm an example as one of the 'have nots' of the town Self confidence to success can lead though many of such people towards arrogance inclined Yet then suppose the perfect person is one you could not hope to find.
