We Are What We Think We Are

We are what we think we are many may say
Though this is often so it is not always the way
How you see yourself and how you appear to me
There can be quite a difference it would seem to be
People of low self esteem to self criticism far more inclined
Than the aspirational and self confident kind
Who can become self centered and narcissistic in their way
And their sort i happen to meet every day
Your great job and new home and brand new motor car
Does not tell me of the person that you really are
Your compassion and kindness to others says more about you
Than anything else ever could hope to do
We are what we think we are is not always true
As some people never give themselves the credit that should be their due.
