Confidence

Confidence
People make it sound easy
Make it look easy
But nothing is that simple.
Maybe if I talk
Maybe if I walk tall
But it’s not that simple.
Some people lack confidence,
They wish they had
Strength enough to talk to a person
Confidence to tell them how they feel
But it’s easier said than done
Easier thought than said
I lack confidence to tell you how I feel
To speak my mind when I see you
To say what I think
To think what I say
So I’m lost
In my time and my world
Lacking the strength to speak my mind
To approach the line
You look at me
I look away
You walk towards me
I wish to run away
Confidence gone
Strewn among the wind
Nothing there but disbelief and fear
Fear that you might disappear
Think myself undeserving
Unneeded and unkind
And yet you look my way
Confidence gone and missing
As you take me in your arms
And hold on tight
You won’t let me escape
So I can cry.

Author notes

okay so this was written the otherday i met somone i think i could go after... hopefully this one won't end up badly. but because of my bad relationships in the past i don't have the guts to tell him how i feel so i wrote this poem to keep myself from getting upset... but the funny thing is that this guy is a close friend who i'd of thought i'd never go for...

    this was a great piece of poetry. It was completely heartfelt and so simple to relate too, yet the meaning was complex yet obvious... very suspicious...

    Make this into a song and it's my anthem. I love this. It was great poetry, very well-written, but it was also so fitting for me!! I love it. Finalists list for sure (: Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest (though you won't need it). (:

    I love this poem...I have been in that sitchy where you suddenly find yourself attracted to a good friend and looking at them a different way. Confidence gone and missing...indeed.
