                              Low Self Opinion

by Henry Rollins 
  
I think you got a low self opinion man 
I see you standing all by yourself 
Unable to express the pain of your distress 
You withdraw deeper inside 
You alienate yourself 
And everybody else 
They wonder what's on your mind 
They got so tired of you 
And your self ridicule 
They wrote you off and left you behind 
 
You sleep alone at night 
You never wonder why 
All this bitterness wells up inside you 
You always victimize 
So you can criticize yourself 
And all those around you 
 
The hatred you project 
Does nothing to protect you 
You leave yourself so exposed 
You want to open up 
When someone says 
Lighten up 
You find all your doors closed 
Get yourself a break from self rejection 
Try some introspection 
And you just might find 
It's not so bad and anyway 
At the end of the day 
All you have is yourself and your mind 
The self hatred that blinds you 
Binds you grinds you keeps you down 
The world falls down around you 
You build up walls around you 
You wear disgust like a crown 
 
If you could see the you that I see 
When I see you seeing me 
You'd see yourself so differently 
Believe me 
 
I know the self doubt that runs inside your mind 
I know the self that treats you so unkind 
 
If you could see the you that I see 
When I see you 
You would see things differently 
I assure you
