Confidence
Something I wish I had
But can't seem to fully develop
As I look around
I see confident people
Who feel comfortable in their own skin
Who are not afraid to speak their mind
I crumble inside as I let my fears consume me
As I let my self-consciousness take control of me
I ask myself
Why can't I be like the others?
Why can't I be free of this feeling of inferiority?
Why do I underestimate myself so much?
Why am I not confident?
Then I realize
The only way to build confidence within me
Is to accept myself the way I am
To not care about others opinions
To be true to myself
I tend to always compare myself with others I see. But I realize now that if I don't start feeling confident in myself and stop feeling inferior to everyone, it's going to become very hard for me to ever overcome that. This poem is dedicated to all those people who feel self-conscious about themselves. All of you are perfect just the way you are, and you're not inferior nor superior to anyone. Be confident about the person you are.
