Poof! Snap! Boom!


POOF!

Now I am confident!

SNAP!

Now I am beautiful!

BOOM!

Now I am talented!

 

Here I stand,

So hear my demands!

My confidence has surly convinced you!

Or are you without a clue?

Is this not enough?

 

Look at my face!

Beg me to have grace!

My beauty has surly convinced you!

Or are you without a clue?

Is this not enough?

 

Look at my work!

You wouldn’t dare to smirk!

My talent has surly convinced you!

Or are you without a clue?

Is this not enough?

 

No doubt my power and perfection,

Deserve your affection?

No doubt you look upon me,

And see all you wish to be!

 

Huh? Have I still not convinced you?

Are you still without a clue???

I look upon me,

And see all I wish to be!

Why not you?

 

That confidence, talent, and beauty!

It has convinced me!

That is what I want for myself one day!

Why are you so dismayed?

Pay no attention to that person,

Behind the curtain.

They are not confident, talented, or beautiful.
