Confidence


I could feel you on my skin like summer heat I start to feel a drip I'm glistening I bite my lips because I am excited but also nervous This isn't the first but it feels like one guess it's in different clothing The way I'm open to you makes me feel vulnerable at the knowing that you can see all of me It's in a brief moment when you meet my eyes give me that smile and tell me it's alright and say you've got me now I never realized those words were what I wanted to hear so much I spent years thinking I was undeserving of love but then you came and made me feel in different ways saying you wanted more than body talk and liquid parties you wanted all of me like how you gave all of you to me I turn to you and ask why did you choose me out of all the glitter eyes and dazzling bodies my body is not as toned as her I've got hips that only get curvier and I've got problems you know of those episodes my name was passed around school the girl that broke down and was sent to a mental hospital I asked him why he treats me like the sun shines from my back and why he keeps me in sight like I'll leave and never look back He said the Queen in you calls out to the King in me I never gave up on you because you saw the light in me and I love your brown eyes and your entire body those hips make my mind wander and your lips don't do any better But it's your mind and your soul the way you push me to maximum potential that has me yearning for your presence and I never want to let go I wake up every day with the goal to make you laugh and smile All because I love you So I brave through the storms you create because without you I could not be the same pour your fire all over me but my decision will not change prick me with the thorns from your leaves I might cry out and get angry but I will never leave because I love you and you only
