What Happened to Your Self-esteem
By Richard Maxfield
2-1-2000

What ever happened to your self-esteem
Is life not what you thought, not what it seamed
How could you  sink so very low
All the seedy places you now go
Nothing but losers, playing a loser game
Does your life feel real does it feel the same
In the arms of a stranger, for another night
Does it feel real, does it feel right
Just a notch, on a strange man’s bed
Speaking lies, never meaning what he said
When I said I love you it was so true
All the years in love, just me and you
Are you now happy to sit in a bar
Weave home drunk, stoned in your car
I worry about you and what is to come
I know what you had, where you are from
I pray to God, you will awake
Not on some dark street, your soul he takes
What ever happened to your self-esteem
Is life not what you thought, not what it seamed
