It's Not Easy Being Confident


Powerful, emotional confidence.

The hand that raises when the teacher makes a mistake,

And the hand that grabs the microphone and sings karaoke.

The foot that pushes through a crowd to the front,

And the foot that puts an end to bullying.

The eyes that seek knowledge,

And the eyes that drift to find another pair.

The heart that explodes with passion,

And the heart that beats for large crowds.

The smile that radiates kindness,

And the smile that makes me confident.
