The Importance of Confidence

Confidence is all I need

When planning to survive.

Say I, “What’s this?” and take a peek

To find a swarmed beehive…

Should I lack confidence, I say,

“Oh no!” and cower and scream.

Confidence shouts, but quickly moves

To act rather than dream.

The cowardly fool is stung and bruised as he

Trips along the lane,

But a confident soul does think as he sprints

And makes use of his brain.

On islands bare and desolate,

All that I would require

Would be fair Lady Confidence

By whose aid I dodge hell-fire.
