Confidence

I'm rediscovering my self belief

and with it I've found that smile I used to wear.

It's still a perfect fit to my relief

and I've notice it's made more people stare.

But rather than letting them walk on by

I've started striking up conversation,

because you get nowhere in acting shy

and confidence can trigger elation.

As my belief rises, so does my chest

and I'm starting to hold my back up straight,

as I return to that which I do best

by regaining a grip on my own fate.

But this high will end, deep down I know

and I'm not ready for another low...
