Teetering steps
Wavering confidence
Bashful apologies
In self-defence
Afraid of falling,
Of errors unknown
Myriad voices calling
To drown down my own..
I feel overwhelmed
My faith is slowly dying
I cannot even pretend
Otherwise, though I’m trying…
How do I get back
From this dark, black hole
When confidence I lack
To make my broken self whole?

There was this voice inside my head
“You need to pull yourself up,” it said
“The artist of your destiny you are,
Look in to yourself, do not look far”
And so I created a brand new design
Of how I wanted to be, in my mind
Gave myself an aura of exuberance
A radiant smile, exuding confidence
I projected the image I had created
Gradually, all my fears abated
Whenever I feel of myself unsure
That brilliant image of myself I conjure
A new wave of confidence in me I infuse
The world around me with positivity I diffuse.
Passion...unbridled
